“Where Christ’s image is formed in people.” That’s how a church newsletter begins. We are reading of restoration into the image of Christ in Romans 8:29. “For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.”
The restoration happens through regeneration. It is a lifelong transformation.
In Galatians 4:19 the apostle Paul says, “My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you, how I wish I could be with you now and change my tone, because I am perplexed about you!”
This is what the Jamieson Fausset Brown Commentary on the Whole Bible says to “Christ be formed in you”:
