“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God should shine unto them” (2 Corinthians 4:3-4).
Paul used the image of the lost wearing a veil. He drew a contrast to the veil Moses wore after he caught a glimpse of the glory of the Lord. The glory faded and the veil was removed.
For many who continue to embrace the covenant of the Old Testament, the veil covers their eyes and their hearts. When the lost allow God to shine His redemptive light on them, the veil is dropped. Then they can see His glory that will never fade.
Satan, the god of this world, works hard to keep minds blinded to the truth of the gospel so the lost cannot be transformed to the image of God. As the archenemy of God, the devil doesn’t want people to see the True Light. Whether he realizes it or not, his days are numbered.
We must realize the urgency of spreading the gospel because ours are numbered as well.
