Interesting thought with which I am about to go to sleep. On reflecting on Genesis, it states that God had made man in His own image. i have always simply understood this to mean that we are similar in likeness to God. Some commentators have shed a further light on this point. It seems that it is not merely that we are made in his image, aesthetically speaking but are stamps of Gods dominion and reign.
In ages of old, when an emperor had conquered a city or nation, that emperor would erect a statute in his own image in that city to signify his rule and law over that area. It was a showing of his dominion in that place. Similarly we as Christians have been created in God's image to signify Gods dominion and rule in which ever sphere we find ourselves in.
