Lifelong Transformation

Solid Rock Church Sermons

In this sermon, we looked at 2 Corinthians 3 and studied how every Christian is in a lifelong transformation process. The Gospel not only saves us, but also begins a lifelong transformation known as sanctification. In 2 Corinthians 3, Paul contrasts the old covenant, written on stone and leading to condemnation, with the new covenant, written on our hearts through the Spirit, bringing life and freedom. The law given through Moses, though glorious, ultimately reveals our sin and leaves us in fear, while the ministry of Jesus removes the veil from our hearts, allowing us to behold and reflect God’s glory. As we walk with Christ, the Spirit transforms us from one degree of glory to another, shaping us into the image of Jesus. This process is not immediate but ongoing, as we learn to embrace God's work in our daily lives with confidence, courage, and celebration. In Christ we live unveiled—no longer hiding in fear and shame but fully exposed to the transforming power of God.
