Being a lookalike of Christ means reflecting His righteousness through faith and the transformative work of the Holy Spirit.
To be a lookalike of Christ signifies that through faith in Him, believers are transformed to resemble His righteousness and character. In Galatians 2:20, Paul writes, 'I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.' This transformation is not a superficial resemblance but a profound change attributed to the work of the Holy Spirit within believers. Just as Jacob received Isaac's blessing by superficially resembling Esau, we Christians are seen as righteous in God’s eyes not by our own works but by the perfect obedience of Christ. Our identity is rooted in Christ, and it is through Him that we find acceptance and blessing from our Heavenly Father.
