How can we procure the changing of our heart? (Part 2).

After the first veil being took away, let’s see how to obviate the second veil.

First of all, what is this second veil?

  • “Therefore, brothers, having boldness to enter into the Holy of Holies by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He has consecrated for us through the veil, that is to say, *His flesh*; and having a High Priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies having been washed with pure water.” (Heb 10:19-22).

The second veil is the flesh of Christ. Jesus lived a perfect life when He was here in flesh, and this became in a barrier inside us, inasmuch as everyone sinned and was turn into guilty:

  • “If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.” (John 15.22).

How, then, to sort out this problem in our lives:

  • “but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and *circumcision is of the heart*; in spirit and not in letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.” (Rom 2:29).
  • “in whom also you are *circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ*, buried with Him in baptism, in whom also you were raised through the faith of the working of God, raising Him from the dead.” (Col 2:12).

And how Jesus works His circumcision in us?

  • “For the Word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing *even to the dividing apart of soul and spirit*, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” (Hebrews 4.12).

Each time that Jesus manifest His glory in us (2Corinthians 3.18), the practice of His word acts like a blade that make a cut in our spirit (namely, the part of the spirit that make frontier with our soul). If we let Jesus carrying out His salvation in us with fear and trembling (Philippians 2.12,13), that is to say, manifest His good and pleasing and perfect will through us in favor of people around us, our understanding will be renewed, our self will be transformed and we will be able to experiment his good, pleasing and perfect will inside us (Romans 12.2; see Isaiah 57.19-21).

So, have a pretty day enlarging your heart in Christ (2Corinthians 6.11-13).
