"Our specific responsibility in the pursuit of holiness as seen in 2 Corinthians 3:18, then, is to behold the glory of the Lord as it is displayed in the gospel. The gospel is the 'mirror' through which we now behold His beauty. One day we shall see Christ, not as in a mirror, but face to face. Then, 'we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is' (1 John 3:2). Until then we behold Him in the gospel. Therefore, we must 'preach the gospel to ourselves every day.'" Jerry Bridges
