Investigating Our Passage
ĽWhat does it mean for humans to be made in God's image?
Somehow, we humans resemble God.
In the creation account, this seems to be set in contrast to the animals and plants, which are made "according to their kinds" (Genesis 1:11,12, 21, 24, 25).
Apparently, the implication is that we humans resemble God in ways that plants and animals do not.
One way to understand this would be to make a list of words that describe God and compare with a list that describes humans, but not plants or animals.
We'll do something of this sort by and by.
