Genesis 1:27: “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” The fact that God made the first man “in his own image” is very instructive and points us directly to Christ. Adam, representing the entire human race and loses the image of God in Genesis chapter 3. Consequently, when a son is born unto him, the Holy Spirit records that this son is born in Adam’s image, not in God’s image (Gen. 5:3). No man is born in God’s image until the Lord Jesus Christ is born, and it is expressly stated that He is the “image” of God (Colossians 3:10; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Hebrews 1:3). So Christ is the “last Adam” (1 Corinthians 15:45) is typified by the first Adam who was the first to have God’s image. The only way for men to have God’s image today is to be “born again” of His Spirit.
