Veil Removal (2 Corinthians 4)

Being blindfolded is an interesting and frightening experience. Seeing is vital to our ability to move around effectively and safely, so if this ability is hindered or removed in any way there will be mistakes. To be blindfolded and not  even know it is the issue that humanity has without Christ. In the Gospel, Jesus is the one that enables salvation, which removes the blindfold or veil so that we see clearly. What impact does this have? A few things come to mind and the first is truth. Specifically in the areas of morality and worldview. In Christ those that believe are able to see the world as the creator intended the world to be viewed. As we love God and have access to Him through Jesus, seeing the world as it was created to be and identifying the ways it falls short is a game changer. This ability changes everything from your thoughts to lifestyle. The Christians worldview enabled by Christ motivates you to fulfill the desire to please and bless God. Resistance is inevitable when one has their worldview changed by an encounter with God. Every decision you make now, in every area of your life, is through this lens. And those that remain veiled (blindfolded) cannot understand. No separation, with a clear conscience, can be made when living your life according to a worldview founded in Christ from any current circumstance. Life in Christ penetrates every decision from Salvation on. Being in conflict with the rest of the world, who does not have a clear vision of truth and world view, is a necessary part of being a believer. This gives you an opportunity to share truth with words and example. In this passage those that remain blindfolded are perishing, giving urgency to the need for the veil to be removed by the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Being unveiled frees people from the bondage of spiritual blindness, which has an empowering effect for the service of the Lord. All who trust in Jesus for the forgiveness of sins must do all through their changed life,  especially speaking the truth of the Gospel!
