Image of God and Human Relationships
What does the Bible mean when it says that human beings were created in God's image and likeness?
When you read the text itself in Genesis it says that he made them in his image; male and female created he them. So, there's something about the male and female relationship itself, or being made as humans in need of another—a complementing other for the fullness of our own humanity; that we've been made for relationship with other—that whatever the image of God theology is, it certainly is not less than an understanding that we've been made for relationship with others, as that reflects the very character of God's own triune being.
