Who do I look like?
Humanity created in God’s image
Image and likeness are probably synonymous terms in Hebrew parallelism.
No physical likeness between God and humanity is intended.
In recent years, a famous tennis player, Andrew Agassi, advertising for a camera company, was fond of saying, “Image is everything.”
The Bible also has its “image” motto: “People are created in God’s image.”
Whereas the advertisement promotes physical image, the Bible promotes people’s spiritual image.
