What does it mean that God makes His children like Him?
Answered in 1 source
God making His children like Him signifies that through regeneration, believers are transformed to reflect His nature and holiness (Colossians 3:10, Ephesians 4:24).
When Scripture states that God makes His children like Him, it emphasizes the transformative work of regeneration. Colossians 3:10 indicates that believers put on the new man, renewed in knowledge after the image of the Creator, while Ephesians 4:24 speaks of putting on the new man created in righteousness and true holiness. This transformation reflects God's character and purposes, allowing believers to bear witness to His glory and grace in the world. It signifies that through Christ, we are being conformed to His image in both our actions and our understanding of God's truth.
