Gen. 1:27. “God created man in his own image, male and female.” The word “image” seems to mean with the capacity to communicate with God and make moral choices (GN 1:26-31). The essential aspect of being a human rather than a robot or subhuman creature is God consciousness and moral conscience, which enables a person to experience love and meaning. This is what makes humans different from animals, whose behavior is governed mainly by instinct. Souls have awareness of “the requirements of the law”, which may be perceived via creation (Rom. 1:20). Although image refers to God’s personality rather than to sexuality, it does seem that here we have equality of the sexes indicated. Thus, this verse has political implications.
God has a Personality, God has attributes, and God speaks. man has all of those too because God created man to have them in his likeness.
