Ephesians 4:20-24 ESV
But that is not the way you learned Christ!— assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.
What does it mean to be made in the image of God? It is the image of true righteousness and holiness. When does this happen? When we put on Christ.
The creation of mankind in the image of God is in progress today.
The day of God's rest when He finishes His work of creation lies ahead. We are a work in progress that will be done in the fullness of time. It is then the sons and daughters of God will be revealed.
