How are we restored to God's image according to scripture?

Answered in 1 source

Believers are restored to God's image through their union with Christ, where they receive a new nature (2 Corinthians 5:17).

In 2 Corinthians 5:17, the scripture states, 'Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.' This restoration to God's image happens spiritually through the new birth accomplished by the Holy Spirit. When a sinner believes in Christ, they undergo a transformation where they are made new beings, reflecting God's righteousness and holiness. This restoration indicates more than a mere improvement of moral behavior; it signifies a complete re-creation of the individual that aligns them with their original purpose of glorifying God.
