Changing Grace
This message invites us into a profound understanding of grace not as a one-time event, but as a transformative power that continuously reshapes us into the image of Christ. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 3:18, we discover that changing grace works like an old photographer's long exposure—we position ourselves with 'unveiled faces' before God's glory, and over time, His character becomes permanently etched onto our hearts. The contrast between Moses' fading external glory under the law and our internal, lasting transformation under grace is striking. While the law could only show us the mess in our lives like a light exposing a dirty kitchen, grace actually provides the cleansing power. We learn that this metamorphosis isn't self-improvement or behavior modification—it's the Holy Spirit actively restoring God's image in us, the very image Adam and Eve lost in the Garden. The beautiful truth is that growth happens 'from glory to glory,' little by little, and even the smallest progress is glorious to God. When we focus on our sins, we stay discouraged, but when we fix our eyes on Jesus and soak in His word, His patience overwrites our impatience, His love replaces our hatred, and His holiness transforms our worldly habits. This is the miracle of changing grace—we become what we behold.
