What does the Bible say about being like God?

The Scriptures in 1 John 3:2 affirm that we are now the sons of God, and though it does not fully appear what we shall be, there is a promise that when Christ appears, we shall be like Him because we will see Him as He is. This transformative hope emphasizes the assurance of believers being conformed to the image of Christ, as highlighted in Romans 8:29, establishing a fundamental aspect of our eternal hope and identity in Him. This reflects our secure relationship with God and the profound nature of our future state as redeemed children of God.
