Genesis 5: verses 1 & 3
"This is the written account of the decendants of Adam. When God created human beings, he made them to be like himself...
...When Adam was 130 years old, he became the father of a son who was just like him ~ in his very image..."
I have often been called "William E." (my father). Recently one of my sons was called (by his wife) "Harold W." (that would be me). We laugh at that. Well, I see here that God created Adam to be "like Himself" (God) ~ then, when Seth came along, he was "just like him" (Adam). It would follow then that this is a natural thing. I am created in this same image format and therefore made in the image of God. Yes, sin entered the picture and that is the ugly thing about the picture. Adam did not live up to what God intended for us and neither have I, but the wonderful part of that is that God has also provided a way to become more like Him with each passing day.
