He has torordained that the image and likeness which was lost in the Garden of Eden shall be restored in the kingdom of God. As we have borne the image ot the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. I Cor. 15:49. God sets a mark upon His own, intangible, nevertheless real. A kingly bearing, a regnant spirit, a shining face-these characterize those who are born from above. When Gideon inquired of the two heathen kings whom he had conquered what manner of men they had slain, he was able to identify them by this illuminating reply, Each one resembled the children of a king. Although we are made partakers of His holiness at the moment of the Holy Spirits incoming, yet He waits upon our hearty cooperation, our joyous response day by day, to complete the transformation into His own glorious image. Witlu the revela- tion of our Lord jesus Christ as the One altogether lovely. there comes a vision of self in startling contrast. It is then, as we turn our eyes steadfastly upon our adorable Lord, that we are being transformed into the same likeness, from one degree of radiant holiness to another. Godlikeness cannot be hiddeng it will give to every step the elasticity of triumph and to every look the brightness of victory. The consummation of Gods perfect plan for His people will transpire at the appearing of our Saviour and King. Wfhen the veil, through which we now see darkly, is lifted and we see Him as He is, then we shall know the glory of full redemption and be satisfied as we appear in His likeness.
