AI OVERVIEW: Followers are formed by the Spirit into the image of Christ, so that they look, think, and act like Jesus, living for others. Paul contrasts the old covenant’s fading glory given to Moses with the ministry of the Spirit that brings righteousness, noting that unveiled believers are being transformed into Christ's likeness with increasing glory. Through Jesus, the new covenant replaces the old; the veil is removed, and the presence of God is accessible not by fear but by freedom, as the Spirit writes God's law on hearts and creates ongoing spiritual growth, inviting believers to continually press into His glory rather than settle for partial gospel benefits.
