Greetings!
Among all the creatures of God, humans are so special that God himself created man in his own image and after his likeness, which means, man is created in the image of God and in his likeness according to Gen 1:26.
Looking at the holy scripture in the book of John 4:23 and also in the analysis of Bro. Eli, we were told that God is spirit and should be worshiped in the spirit. So, as a true image of God and one he has created in his likeness, we are expected to be spirit like God as we were being told that he's spirit.
How can we now be in the image of God without us being a spirit like him? I think that would not be possible.
Also in Ecclesiastes 7:29, we were made to know that God had created us upright and that we have sought many inventions. Which means the way God has created us is in an upright way and maybe it's the invention that has taken us away from the likeness through which he's created us.
In addition, in psalms 17:15, we were also told about the righteousness of God, which means for him to have created in his image and likeness, we have to be righteous and holy as God himself is as he has created us in his image.
In conclusion, we are all created in the image of God and in his likeness which means we must live like in his uprightness, righteousness and holiness.
Thanks for reading.
since we are created in the image of God , we need to live an upright and holy life
The image of God shows the likeness of God
