Bible Question: In Genesis 1, Adam is created in the image of God. What does this mean exactly? |
Bible Answer: I don't know exactly, but I have looked into it and wish to share the answer that I find comfort in. An Image is what we see when we look into a mirror. It is not us, but a representation of us. God created us to represent Him on this earth, which makes us Ambassadors, just like a foriegn ambassador represents the country he originates from.
