Paul teaches us that all those who, by the Spirit of the Lord, come to see the glory of Christ in the gospel will be transformed by that glory. All those who believe the glorious gospel will be made glorious themselves. Therefore, the Christian is to live with the hope of holiness. This hope is because of three things the Spirit of God provides to the believer: (1) Glorious Regeneration (v. 16); (2) Glorious Liberation (v. 17); and (3) Glorious Transformation (v. 18).
