It occurred to me this morning that I do not know the answer to the question in my title. The Lord Yahweh is so far above us that it seems that any comparison between Him and us is impossible. Yet he said that he created us in his image. How is it possible that creatures so sinful, so mutable, so hopelessly earthbound can still in some way be made after his likeness? I see many more ways that are different between God and fallen man than I see similarities. What then is the real image of God in man?
Thoughts.
