8. We Will be Changed

8.  Getting to know Him better will change lives.  Seeing His face, His nature, what He is like, and we will never be the same.  This change is a lifetime process, we never "arrive" until we join Him in Heaven.

2 Corinthians 4:6-7

6 For 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.

7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

1 Corinthians 9:14

16 For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory: for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe to me, if I preach not the gospel!

17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed to me.

2 Corinthians 5:13-15

13 For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.

14 For the love of Christ constrains us; because we judge like this, that if one died for all, then were all dead:

15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live to themselves, but to him which died for them, and rose again.

Acts 4:18-21

18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all or teach in the name of Jesus.

19 But Peter and John answered and said to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken to you more than to God, you judge.

20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.

21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.

Isaiah 6:1,8

1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the LORD sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.

8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Who shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

Jeremiah 20:7-9

7 O LORD, you have deceived me, and I was deceived; you art stronger than I, and have prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocks me.

8 For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the LORD was made a reproach to me, and a derision, daily.

9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stop.
