His Own Likeness




Genesis 5:1-3 (NASB Strong's)

1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day when God created man, He made him in the likeness of God. 2 He created them male and female, and He blessed them and named them Man in the day when they were created.

3 When Adam had lived one hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth.


Adam was created in the image of God. He lost that image and was clothed in the flesh of mankind because of his disobedience. His son Seth was not born in the likeness of God, but in the likeness of the being Adam had become, according to his new image as man. 


Christ would enable us to be made in the image of God, that is Jesus. We are reborn in the Spirit and made alive to God.
