变化的意义
变化乃是基督加到我们全人里面，顶替我们的所是，好叫基督加增，我们天然的生命减少。变化的过程在我们里面发生时，就排除我们天然人老旧的元素，而那荣耀，就是开花的基督，复活的基督作为赐生命之灵，就加到我们里面，顶替天然的元素。今日与昨日不同，明日又会与今日不同，因为我们天然的成分日日减少，基督日日加多。这就是渐渐变化，从荣耀到荣耀的意义。
从荣耀到荣耀
我们越在这赐生命的灵里生活行动，荣耀就越多加到我们全人里面。因此，我们的生活乃是从荣耀到荣耀。我们渐渐变化成为与主同样的形像，从荣耀到荣耀，也就是从主灵到主灵。这是每一个为着教会活基督之人的经历。保罗是这种生活的榜样，这乃是他的经历。
保罗在林后三章十八节说，“我们众人既然以没有帕子遮蔽的脸，好像镜子观看并返照主的荣光，就渐渐变化成为与祂同样的形像，从荣耀到荣耀，乃是从主灵变化成的。”我们已经看过，保罗是为着教会活基督之人的榜样，他每天都经历变化。三章十八节的变化，是一种新陈代谢的改变，乃是从荣耀到荣耀，也就是从主灵到主灵。

The Meaning of Being Transformed – 2 Cor. 3:18
To be transformed is to have Christ added into our being to replace what we are so that Christ may increase and our natural life may decrease. As the process of transformation takes place within us, the old element of our natural being is carried away, and the glory, the blossoming Christ, the resurrected Christ as the life-giving Spirit, is added into us to replace the natural element. Today is different from yesterday, and tomorrow will be different from today, for each day we have less of the natural element and more of Christ. This is what it means to be transformed from glory to glory.
From Glory to Glory
The more we live and walk in this life-giving Spirit, the more glory is added into our being. Therefore, we live glory to glory. We are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, that is, from the Lord Spirit to the Lord Spirit. This is the experience of everyone who lives Christ for the church. Paul was a pattern of this kind of life, and this was his experience.
In 2 Cor. 3:18 Paul says, “And we all with unveiled face, beholding and reflecting as a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord Spirit.” We have seen that, as a pattern of a person who lives Christ for the church, Paul was daily experiencing transformation. Transformation in 3:18, a metabolic change, is from glory to glory, that is, from the Lord Spirit to the Lord Spirit.
