2Corinthians 3:15-18


How can we hear the voice of God, who is the Spirit? Better yet, Is your faith and trust in Jesus Christ, who is also the Spirit? 

(Acts 7:30) tells us that an angel showed the light to Moses and (7:38) it was the angel that gave Moses the commandments, which is clarified in (7:53) that God used the angel to deliver the commandments to Moses. God has to ultimately show us and give us the sight and ears to hear him. 

(2Corinthians 3:6-8) the veil of Moses covers what is beyond us, thus, blinding us to see only what is in front of us. (3:17-18) Dwelling in the O.T will never unveil our faces. The removed veil, which Jesus has to remove for us, will show us God's glory; and once we see God's glory, we can see what's behind us is the old testament- the old covenant- the light which has passed already. 

(Hebrews 10:1) The Law is only a shadow of the good that is to come. But how do you know the shadow is your shadow, demon's or God's? Once the veil is taken off and see God's glory, you will know what this shadow behind you is. (2Corinthians 3: 8-11) God's glory is the Light of all lights. You don't need to search for a light to see before and after you. This God's glory is eternal. 

Reading the OT after the veil is off, you see that the glory in OT is one that has passed away already.

(2 Corinthians 3:16) Return to Jesus Christ FIRST, then the veil is removed through Jesus. We find it easier to believe in Jesus through the scientific evidence we have found throughout the years. This only leads to a faith that is only evidence/knowledge-based, not faith by faith in Jesus Christ. Acknowledged faith is NOT Faith.


God's glory can be seen, how?

(John 1:18) You can't see God, but he will show you who he is through his disciples. (John 1:14) God also came through Jesus Christ by the Word becoming flesh. Many people think Jesus as a prophet or saint but blessed are those who knew Jesus is the Son of God. 

(2Corinthians 3:18) How do you know you are believing in Christ? By actions? behaviors that mimic Jesus? The Bible tells us that by having the veil removed by Jesus, seeing God's glory, we can reflect the image of Jesus.

Where is this Spirit of God? 

We are sinners which prevents us from seeing him/ can't be with him. Therefore, God made a place where we can meet him. Jesus said he is the temple because he was conceived by the Holy Spirit. In order for us to see him now, we MUST receive the Holy Spirit, which makes us clear of sin- that our body becomes the temple in which the Holy Spirit can dwell. 

No blood, inheritance, generation can clear us of sin. We must receive the Holy Spirit, according to the Scriptures. (Romans 3:23) 

(John 12:23-24) Dying is glory- death of the flesh, your greed, hatred, boast, pride, etc, must die so that you can receive God's glory. Is the Cross truly your glory? Is His love truly your life? 

What is God's greatest glory? (Matthew 24:30) Do you believe Jesus will come in Great glory? If your veil is still on your, you only think of the glory that is only in front of you. What you can obtain on earth. What you can see evidently. 


Through Glory, Glory comes

(2Corinth 3:17-18) If we change into the likeness of Christ, we can go into Glory. But if you can't see the Glory, if you can't see past the good things you can achieve on earth, you can't go into Glory. Unveiled sight lets you see PAST what you have/will have on this land. It shows you the living hope that will lead you into heaven. Believing in Christ doesn't mean about YOUR success, it's about receiving access into Heaven. 

(John 16:7-9) Not believing in Christ, not seeing the Glory of Christ (God) is sin. No one else, other than Jesus, was sent from Heaven. One you receive the Holy Spirit, you will know you are a sinner, not because you killed, murdered, adulterated, etc. All these are sin but your greatest sin is not believing in Christ. 

Even thinking of hate, greed, adultery is sin- the action has been done through your thoughts. 

(2Corinth 3:16) Because you receive the Holy Spirit, you become a temple for the Holy Spirit; and the Spirit sets you free. 

One with the Holy Spirit repents after committing unrighteous act. One without the Holy Spirit holds in disagreements and explodes later when alone- for example, back-stabbing/ gossips- or doesn't care/ doesn't realize the sinful act/thought


Conclusion

(Galatians 4:1-11) The Law does not set you free. Jews don't think they have sin because they believe that they are descendants of Abraham by flesh and blood. Elementary belief is following the laws. The only way to receive peace and freedom is Jesus Christ. Packing knowledge into your head, packing OT into your head only puts on an irremovable veil. 

(2Corinthians 4:3-4) If the gospel is veiled, it is veiled to the perishing. Why? (verse 4) The World veils you, seduces, confuses, hinder you away from Jesus- receiving the Holy Spirit. 

(John 12:39- 41) 

Do not hold onto what riches you can claim on the earth. You do need means to survive, but look past the World- look towards Heaven where eternal life awaits. (John 7:39) The Main point is: receive the Holy Spirit. Entry into Heaven is with  the Holy Spirit in you. Desire to read, love and follow God comes from the Holy Spirit- your true leader.
