Christ-likeness is a helpful term
I was reading this post and I was struck by the comment:
It is only Christ-likeness - and not works of the law - that will ensure that they survive the suffering and destruction that will mark the transition from the present evil age to the age that has now (from our perspective) come.I think that's a great way of expressing Paul's thought. I think I need to use the term Christ-likeness more. It is a particularly good term at capturing what I have long argued Paul's theology is all about, but it is not a term I have used much.

You may like a comment of Archbishop Michael Ramsey (I think - I haven't got time right now to chase it down):
"God is Christ-like, and in him is no un-Christ-likenes at all"
