HIS Glory, Evident upON eVERY Believer's face!

Acts 6:12-15 NIV

So they stirred up the people and the elders and the teachers of the law. They seized Stephen and brought him before the Sanhedrin. They produced false witnesses, who testified, "This fellow never stops speaking against this holy place and against the law. For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs Moses handed down to us." All who were sitting in the Sanhedrin looked intently at Stephen, and they saw that his face was like the face of an angel.

As the Apostle Luke records in the Book of Acts, the bold testimony of Christ, being made by Stephen in the face of extreme persecutions, was such a profound statement of courage and strength, that perhaps even a member of that religious council, the Sanhedrin, commented that the disciple Stephen, appeared to have the countenance of an angel while he stood in the midst of their persecutions that day.

By the most abstract observation of any Believer in Christ, when reading this, could come to this obvious and convincing conclusion, a Believer full of God's grace and power, will in every aspect of their life, testify of God's Son, Christ Jesus as HIS eternal Glory, manifesting HIMSELF upon flesh!

Although, as Apostle Paul writes later in his letters, this is where a certain believer did and others soon will, become as Christ was in the garden, transfigured by God's Glory, before the very eyes of Peter, James and John who represent the elect council of HIS church today.

Now, some 2000 years later, there are believers that will exit their covenant with Christ, by failing to fulfill the role of martyred servant of the Most High God, dying for the glory of HIS name, so that they might LIVE in HIS Eternal Glory, only to be destroyed by their LACK of complete dedication and committment to Christ, even unto death!

In the coming last days, those believers who will be transfigured, then martyred, as Stephen, will receive their eternal reward from Jehovah God, whose NAME is I AM that I AM!!!
