"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord" (2 Cor. 3:18).
Paul tells us that because the veil has been removed from our face we now reflect, as in a mirror, the glory of the Lord one to another; and it is this that changes us into His own image.
The Greek word for "changed" in this passage is "metamorphoo," and signifies a complete changing of form. It is used on three different occasions in the New Testament: in the above passage; in the account concerning the transfiguration of Christ (Matt. 17:2; Mk. 9:2); and in Romans 12:2 where it is translated "transformed." This is the word that men chose from the Greek to signify the change that takes place in certain creatures, known as "metamorphosis." And because of the great spiritual truth that we discover in this phenomena, we want to examine it further.
