3 How the image of God is restored in us.
1THE repairing of the image of God in man is wrought by God alone, who gave it unto man: for in whose power it is to give life, in his also it is to restore it being lost. The manner of restoring it is this: 1. God the Father restoreth it by his Son, because he hath made him unto us, wisdom, justification, sanctification, and redemption. 2. The Son by the holy Ghost immediately regenerating us; 2We are changed into the same image from glory to glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord. 3. The holy Ghost restoreth it by the ⟨p. 45⟩Word and use of the Sacraments: The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation. Now this renewing is so wrought by God, as that in this life it is only begun in the chosen, and in them confirmed and augmented unto the end of their life, as concerning the soul; but as concerning the whole man, at the resurrection of the body. Wherefore it is to be observed, who is the author, and what the order and manner of this repairing.
