In kind, it is used to refer to the ‘image’ of God in the Christian (1 Cor. 11:7), who is being transformed into the perfect ‘likeness’ of Christ (Romans 8:29, 2 Cor. 3:18- And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate[a] the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image…“). At some future date, we will bear the perfect ‘likeness’ of the Son (1 Cor. 15:49 – “And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we[a] bear the image of the heavenly man.”).”Mounce on Imitation:“…in the early church, many new believers needed models to show them how to live a redeemed lifestyle, since up to that time their lives were shaped by a pagan culture… Paul acknowledges that they Thessalonians have used Paul and company as their examples (1 Thess 1:6; 2 Thess
