Who's Image Are we

Gen 1:26 ASV - 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 birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Gen 1:27 ASV - And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
I believe this bears repeating once again , being created in Gods image is important for us to see and realize .    Jhn 4:24 ASV - God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth.  First we must understand Gods image is not our bodies.  So if he created you in his image what image was you created in , it is for your fathers purpose .  Having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will .   So Gods image is his nature his character who God is in all his glory and we can go on and on in this vain of thought of who God is.  Now Jesus said he came in his fathers name ,      Rom 8:29 ASV - For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:
1Co 15:49 ASV - And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
Rom 8:29 ASV - For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:
1Co 15:49 ASV - And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.   Jesus was God in the flesh and when  we see him we see God .   Jesus came to revel the father to you ,  Col 2:9 ASV - for in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily,
2Co 5:19 ASV - to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

 Jhn 5:43 ASV - I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.   Jesus always looked beyond a mans flesh and saw his soul ,  this body is a vehicle to get our spirit from one place to another .  And that is how we must see people, Paul said know no man after the flesh,       2Co 5:16 ASV - Wherefore we henceforth know no man after the flesh: even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.
Jhn 8:15 ASV - Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

   Image  Heb     tseh'·lem

 It lies in the nature of the case that the "image" does not consist in bodily form; it can only reside in spiritual qualities, in man's mental and moral attributes as a self-conscious, rational, personal agent, capable of self-determination and obedience to moral law. This gives man his position of lordship in creation, and invests his being with the sanctity of personality. The image of God, defaced, but not entirely lost through sin, is restored in yet more perfect form in the redemption of Christ

Luk 9:53 ASV - And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he were going to Jerusalem.
Luk 9:54 ASV - And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we bid fire to come down from heaven, and consume them?
Luk 9:55 ASV - But he turned, and rebuked them.
James and John were the disciples that proposed this to Jesus ,  thanks be unto God he is a righteous judge .  But these men were looking at the flesh Jesus was looking at their souls. 
 And looking at this in the spirit , Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem


Rom 1:23 ASV - and changed the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.   Man is determined to make God like himself , to justify their sin .   

Glory  Greek
of the nature and acts of God in self-manifestation, i.e., what He essentially is and does, as exhibited in whatever way he reveals Himself in these respects, and particularly in the person of Christ, in whom essentially His "glory" has ever shone forth and ever will do, Jhn 17:5, 24; Hbr 1:3; it was exhibited in the character and acts of Christ in the days of His flesh, Jhn 1:14; Jhn 2:11; at Cana both His grace and His power were manifested, and these constituted His "glory;" so also in the resurrection of Lazarus, Jhn 11:4, 40; the "glory" of God was exhibited in the resurrection of Christ, Rom 6:4, and in His ascension and exaltation, 1Pe 1:21, likewise on the Mount of Transfiguration, 2Pe 1:17. In Rom 1:23 His "everlasting power and Divinity" are spoken of as His "glory," i.e., His attributes and power as revealed through creation; in Rom 3:23 the word denotes the manifested perfection of His character, especially His righteousness, of which all men fall short; in Col 1:11 "the might of His glory" signifies the might which is characteristic of His "glory;" in Eph 1:6, 12, 14, "the praise of the glory of His grace" and "the praise of His glory" signify the due acknowledgement of the exhibition of His attributes and ways; in Eph 1:17, "the Father of glory" describes Him as the source from whom all Divine splendor and perfection proceed in their manifestation, and to whom they belong;
