The life of a Christian following baptism is a process of becoming more and more like Jesus. Baptized Christians are not perfect, but they are forgiven. They still make mistakes and need to repent, but they are "being transformed into his(Jesus) image with ever-increasing glory..." (2 Corinthians 3:18)
This process of becoming more like Christ is referred to as "theosis" by Eastern Orthodox. Others may call it Sanctification, or conforming to the image of Christ. (Romans 8:29)
