him…richly bless ALL who call upon him…  

2 Corinthians 3:18 “And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever- increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

Romans 12:2

“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your

mind.”  

I Corinthians 15:49              “And just as we have borne the likeness of

the earthly man (Adam), so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven (Jesus Christ).”
