What does it mean to be created in God's "image"?
Genesis 1:26
" And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."
Although we are not exact duplicates of God, we do have a few things in common with him. We lack the attributes of God, who is completely good, all-knowing, all-present, holy, and loving. We are moral, spiritual, logical, emotional, and communicative beings, just like God. We are worthy and meaningful beings with dignity. We can also experience the connections of intimate relationships.
