Imago Dei

When God says, 'Let us make mankind in our image,' He is referring to our non-physical qualities, such as our mind, personality, and character. When He says, 'Let us make mankind in our likeness,' He is talking about our physical qualities. This forms the core of our identity as we reflect all that He is. The beauty of this scripture lies in its connection to the deep longing in our hearts and minds to be like Him. Genesis 1:26
