After The Image Colossians 3:8-10

Colossians 3:8-10 ESV 

But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.

In the creation account, God makes man in His own image, male and female. That is what's taking place today. We are "being renewed in the knowledge after the image of its creator. 

The Greek verb tense is in the present active voice. What He spoke long ago is bearing fruit today. He speaks of things before they are and His word does not come back empty. 

The six days of creation and the seventh day of rest reflect creation from beginning to end. It is currently underway and the process will end when He is through. 

He is the beginning and the end. We are the work of His hand and the glory of His rest.
