How does one receive the image of Christ?

Answered in 1 source

One receives the image of Christ through God's electing grace and the work of the Holy Spirit.

According to Romans 8:29, those whom God foreknew He predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son. This means that receiving Christ's image is not an act of human achievement but a result of divine election and regeneration. The Holy Spirit works within believers to transform their hearts and minds, making them reflect Christ's character. This transformation is both immediate and progressive, leading to a life that increasingly bears the fruit of the Spirit as one lives in union with Christ, finding their identity and purpose in Him.
