ABOUT THE ART
His Image
By Jenny Komenda
“When he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.”
1 John 3:2
“We all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory.”
2 Corinthians 3:18
“Have ye received his image in your countenances? … Can you look up, having the image of God engraven upon your countenances?”
Alma 5:14, 19

The central promise of the gospel is that, as we draw near to Christ and His gospel, we are transformed in the Savior’s image. This is because following Jesus is not simply about learning His teachings. It is about becoming like Him, until His very image shines in our countenance.
How does this transformation happen? Not from the outside in, but from the inside out. As Ezra Taft Benson taught, "The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature." Instead of self-improvement programs, Christ offers us rebirth. This difference is everything. We are not merely refining old habits — we are being made into something new.
This inward change begins when we enter into covenant with God and stay close to Him there. Dale G. Renlund reminded us that our covenants serve as living connections to a living Savior, and that "the power of covenants helps us maintain the mighty change of heart, deepen our conversion to the Lord, and receive Christ's image more fully in our countenance." Becoming like our Savior requires walking with Him in sustained, daily communion. As 19th century Scottish minister Alexander Maclaren taught, if we keep near Christ, “we will get liker Him day by day, and the fashion of our countenances will be altered,” because “if our days are passed in any real sense in communion with Him … we cannot but be made fair, noble, refined, pure, and have something of celestial light raying out from us.” The light we receive is not merely reflected; it works inwardly, transforming us into its ownlikeness. We behold, and beholding, we grow like what we see. In the words of Rev. Matthew Henry: “Serious godliness puts a luster upon a man's countenance.”
Thomas Merton understood this process as the discovery of our truest self — the self hidden in God. "If I find Him I will find myself," Merton wrote, "and if I find my true self I will find Him." To become like Christ is not to lose ourselves but to find who we were always meant to be. But this process requires surrender, not just seeking. As Dietrich Bonhoeffer explained, “Either man models himself on the God of his own invention, or the true and living God molds the human form into His image. There must be a complete transformation — a metamorphosis — if man is to be restored to the image of God.”
C.S. Lewis described this final destination: God is at work "turning you permanently into a different sort of thing; into a new little Christ, a being which, in its own small way, has the same kind of life as God; which shares in His power, joy, knowledge and eternity."
This is the promise extended to each of us — not perfection by tomorrow, but transformation over a lifetime of faithful following. As we keep our covenants, seek His presence, and yield our hearts to His reshaping hands, we will find His image growing in us, until that day when we see Him as He is, and the likeness is complete.
