What does 'awaken in His likeness' mean?

Answered in 1 source

'Awaken in His likeness' signifies the transformation believers will experience in eternity when they see Christ as He is.

'Awaken in His likeness' as expressed in Psalm 17:15 reflects the Christian hope of resurrection and glorification. It emphasizes that believers will ultimately be conformed to the image of Christ, sharing in His righteousness and divine nature. This idea is further supported by 1 John 3:2, which promises that when Christ appears, we shall be like Him. This transformation is not merely physical; it encompasses a complete renewal of our being and a restoration to the intended purpose of God’s creation. Thus, to awake in His likeness is to fully participate in the divine joy and satisfaction of being in the presence of God forever.
