=The Lord our God is a Miracle working God. He did it when He was carrying out His ministry work on the Earth. He continues the same work in those who believe in Him, especially those who have put on His image and likeness. He confidently asserted,
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." John 14:12.(KJV)

Can you see the need to put on the image of the Lord for Him and human beings to see and His likeness to be spoken of? It is not a day job. It only requires gradual and steady growth. This should continue until the full stature of Jesus Christ is attained.

"This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the complete standard of Christ." Ephesians 4:13. New Living Translation (NLT).

As soon as this becomes manifest, unbelievers, as well as other Believers, will be able to declare that you take after the Lord Jesus Christ.
"...And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. Acts 21:26(in part, KJV).

This was what happened in the lives of the early Christians. Everyone was able to see the image and likeness of the Lord their God in them.

On your Pilgrimage on the Earth, how much of Christ: 's picture and virtues have you put on? You cannot afford to fail to put them on fully because you are here to represent Him in His works. May the Lord help you to put on the image and likeness of the Lord your God in the name of Jesus Christ. Stay blessed and prepared for the imminent coming of the Lord.

KJV is the King James Version.
