CCC 705

Disfigured by sin and death, man remains "in the image of God," in the image of the Son, but is deprived "of the glory of God,"⁶⁶ Rom 3:23. of his "likeness." the promise made to Abraham inaugurates the economy of salvation, at the culmination of which the Son himself will assume that "image"⁶⁷ Cf. Jn 1:14; Phil 2:7. and restore it in the Father's "likeness" by giving it again its Glory, the Spirit who is "the giver of life."
