2 Corinthians 4:4,6 - The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God…For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.
John 12:31 - Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out.
1 Corinthians 1:20 - Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
2 Corinthians 3:14,18 - But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away…And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
Application:
· Am I being gloriously transformed into the image of God?
· Out of the cross flows the greatest good ever to come to the world
· All humanly devised philosophical systems end in meaninglessness because they have a wrong concept of God and His revelation
· Do I have the power to see how the new covenant has transcended and replaced the old covenant?
· Is the light in my life the knowledge of the glory of God?
· Am I made a partaker of the glory of God by being gradually transformed into the likeness of Christ?
