How do we know that we are conformed to the image of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

We know we are conformed to Christ's image as we grow in righteousness and holiness, reflecting His love in our lives (Romans 8:29).

The process of being conformed to the image of Christ begins with God's predestination of His elect, as stated in Romans 8:29. This transformation is realized through regeneration, where believers are given a new nature that desires to pursue righteousness and holiness. Ephesians 4:24 calls us to 'put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.' As we behold Christ through the gospel and live in the Spirit, we are continually transformed into His likeness, reflecting His character in our actions and motivations. This transformation is evident when our hearts yearn to love others as Christ loved us, leading to tangible expressions of grace and mercy in our dealings with one another.
