The fact that man is in the image and likeness of God means that man is like God in the intellectual ability, moral purity, spiritual nature, and domination over the earth creativity, the ability to make ethical choices, and immortality. Satan maneuvered Eve into a position where she was at her weakest. He used persevering of God¿s Word to deceive Eve. He used the same word but contradicted in Genesis 3:4. The effects of sin follow immediately upon the sinful act. The desire to be like God pushes Eve to hear Satan and she breaks God commandment given in Genesis 2:16-17. Since Adam was Eve¿s head he bears the responsibility of the sin. Man is still in the image of God, in every aspect of life; but some parts of that image have been distorted or lost. Man sinned and became the slave of evil. The purpose of God is to restore his image in man (Romans 8:28-30). God purpose in Christ for humanity is conformity to Christ¿s glorious image. The call to his purpose is through faith in Jesus Christ. Those who believe Jesus Christ will be conformed to Christ and the image of God once distorted will be restored. To be exactly like Christ in his moral character. Christ is the true Imago Dei.
