No Veil

2Cor 3
You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: you are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. God has made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter kills, but the spirit gives life. For if the ministration of condemnation (the covenant made at Mt Sinai) is glorious, the ministration of righteousness exceeds it much more in glory. Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: not as Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: but their minds were blinded: for until this day the same veil remains untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which veil is done away in Christ. But even to this day, when Moses is read, the veil is on their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.


Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
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, by the Spirit of the Lord.

If our gospel be hid, it is hid to those who are lost: we preach Christ Jesus the Lord. God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shined in our hearts, to [give] the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. I sinned. Jesus died. Jesus rose from the dead. If I acknowledge that I deserve to die and I accept what Jesus has done on my behalf in terms of reconciling God and me then God will raise me up to a new life with Jesus.

That is it. There is nothing to hide in true Christianity. There is no hidden agenda, no esoteric knowledge, and no secret. We each can have direct access to God if we follow that simple plan.

No Veil.
