The Ship of Theseus\n2 Cor 5:17 #Nightlight #FoundationofFaith\n\nAdapted from a blog by Win Groseclose\n"We are told in Scripture that humans are made in the image of God (Genesis 1:26-27). This image was not lost in the Fall (Genesis 9:6), but it was clearly distorted, twisted, and bent by sin. In the New Testament we are told that Jesus is the perfect image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15) and we are being molded and remade into Christ\u2019s image (Romans 8:29). Thus, the life of the Christian is a process by which one is changed from the image of the man of dust into the image of Christ \u2014 the man of heaven (1 Corinthians 15:49). We are Theseus\u2019 ship, as it were, constantly having our spiritual planks replaced (sin has rotted them) and being remade and conformed into the image of Christ \u2014 a process not complete until we see heaven"
