Genesis 1:27
Man Created as the “Imago Dei”
"image of God"
a theological term, applied
uniquely to humans, which denotes
the symbolical relation between
God and humanity. The term has
its roots in Genesis 1:27, wherein
"God created man in his own
image.
Genesis 1:27
this scriptural passage does not mean that
God is in human form, but rather, that
humans are in the image of God in their
moral, spiritual, and intellectual nature.
Thus, humans mirror God's divinity in their
ability to actualize the unique qualities with
which they have been endowed, and which
make them different than all other
creatures: rational structure, complete
centeredness, creative freedom, a possibility
for self-actualization, and the ability for
self-transcendence.
