As we look into this mirror and see who we are called to be, our present reality is transfigured in increasing measure to become what we see in the scriptures. We become what we see. That is why it is very important what we read and watch. Col 3:10 tells us that God uses Epign\u014dsis or knowledge of Truth gained from looking into the perfect law of liberty i.e. the scriptures to transform our inner man from Glory to Glory.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#333333;font-family:Corbel;font-size:12pt;\">That is the purpose of this blog, to help us all look into the mirror of the Word and help us to get transformed into the very fullness of the stature of Christ.
