We bear the likeness of Jesus, (I Corinthians 15:49) and were made in the image of God. (Genesis 1:26) So when we become a Christian, our journey begins by daily putting on our new self, which is being renewed in knowledge and in the image of its Creator. (Colossians 3:10) And as we determine to imitate Jesus more and more, this restoration of the fullness of the image of God in us is accomplished by Christ in us…transforming our old self bit by bit into His image…until when people look into our eyes they won’t see us but Jesus smiling back.
