Made in Gods image?

“God proceeded to create the man in his image, in God’s image he created him; male and female he created them.” (Gen. 1:27) Being made in God’s image does not mean that we were made so as to look like God, but, that God put in the first humans the potential, the ability to exercise His own qualities. They became God's children. And most children to to act like their father or mother. In fact, sometimes a son is so much like his father that he is called “a chip off the old block.” And so it should be with us. Remember we are urged to “become imitators of God, as beloved children.” (Eph. 5:1)
