In what ways are we like God?
In what ways are we not?
John Frame:
John Frame - The Doctrine of the Christian Life quoting Meredith Kline - Images of the Spirit
The image of God is physical
The image of God is physical, bodily.
The human eye is an image of God’s power to see, as the Psalmist says, “He who formed the eye, does He not see?” () God doesn’t have literal eyes, but our eyes reflect his power of sight.
Similarly, Scripture speaks of God’s “arm” and “hand,” indicating his power to act and showing that our arms and hands are also images of him.
People sometimes object to saying that the image of God is physical, because God doesn’t have a body.
But that is shortsighted.
God doesn’t have a body, but our bodies certainly reflect his power.
This aspect of the image of God reflects his lordship attribute of control.
A second aspect of the image is what Kline calls the official aspect.
As God holds the office of king, so he makes us his assistant kings, his “ambassadors” to have dominion over the earth (,).
This reflects God’s lordship attribute of authority.
The third element is the ethical element.
The New Testament tells us that we reflect God especially in our knowledge, righteousness, and holiness (, ).
Throughout scripture, God tells us to “be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy” () or, as Jesus said in to “be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”
So the image of God extends to our inmost character.
It corresponds to God’s lordship attribute of presence.
How are we not?

Sinful ()
