2 Corinthians 4:2-3 - Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God. And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing.
2 Corinthians 2:17 - Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.
2 Corinthians 1:18 - But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not “Yes” and “No.”
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:
· Do I speak before God with sincerity?
· Have I found the gospel message to be altogether true and free from ambiguity?
· Do I have the power to see how the new covenant has transcended and replaced the old covenant?
· Am I made a partaker of the glory of God by being gradually transformed into the likeness of Christ?
