Genesis 5:1-2 (ESV Strong's)
1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. 2 Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created.
The same Hebrew word is translated “Adam” and “man”. Man is in the image of God because He took our image for Himself.
He made us male and female so we we be fruitful and multiply. This can lead us to be one with God, just as a man and woman can be one. When we do this, we realize the full blessing of God, on earth and in heaven.
The generations before us are the descendants of Adam who eventually produce Jesus, who is the exact image of God because He is the Son of God.
By being born in our image, He makes it possible for us to be reborn in His.
