“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.” Christ is the sinner’s advocate. Those who accept His gospel behold Him with open face. They see the relation of His mission to the law, and they acknowledge God’s wisdom and glory as revealed by the Saviour. The glory of Christ is revealed in the law, which is a transcript of His character, and His transforming efficacy is felt upon the soul until men become changed to His likeness. They are made partakers of the divine nature, and grow more and more like their Saviour, advancing step by step in conformity to the will of God, till they reach perfection.{6BC 1096.4}

Og alle vi, som med utilsløret ansigt i et spejl skuer Herrens herlighed, forvandles efter det billede, vi skuer, fra herlighed til herlighed, sådan som det sker ved den Herre, som Ånden er. (2.Kor 3,18). Kristus er syndernes talsmand. De som tager imod evangeliet, ser ham med utildækket ansigt. De ser forbindelsen mellem hans opgave og loven, og de lovpriser Guds visdom og herlighed som bliver åbenbaret ved Frelseren. Kristi herlighed bliver åbenbaret i loven, som er en afskrift af hans karakter, og hans forvandlende kraft gør sin gerning i menneskene indtil de bliver forvandlet til hans billede. De får del i guddommelig natur, og de bliver mere og mere lig deres frelser. Skridt for skridt retter de sig stadig mere efter Guds vilje, indtil de når fuld modenhed.
