The Image of God is a concept and theological doctrine in Judaism, Christianity, and some Sufi sects of Islam.
In Christian thought, the Image of God that was present in Adam at the Creation was partially lost with the Fall of Man, and that through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, humans can be reunited with God. Christian writers have stated that despite the Image of God being partially lost, each person fundamentally has value regardless of class, race, gender, or disability.
Philosophers and theologians have debated the exact meaning of the phrase for millennia.
Contemplating on this truth is getting in touch with God's divine presence within us. This alignment of our true self with God helps uncover the meaning and purpose of our life and existence.
Genesis 1:27 "So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them."
1 Corinthians 11:7 "Man is made in God’s image and reflects God’s glory."
