In Genesis Chapter 1, the earth that was void, without form, and in deep darkness changed when God began to work. My evil image is not a problem if God works. I am righteous because Jesus made me righteous.
When Jesus told the man with an infirmity for 38 years to "Rise, take up thy bed, and walk," the power to rise, take his bed, and walk already arrived in him. He couldn't feel this or see it with his eyes. That is why we receive and believe. It is not about our feelings. We will see His glory when we believe the power in His word, "but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." (1 Corinthians 6:11)
