What is the 'Image of God'? (w/ Dr. Carmen Joy Imes)

Disciple Dojo - A podcast by JM Smith

A viewer asks:

“In Genesis 1:27, when it says we were "made in the image of God", What does it mean exactly? I hear people all the time say that it means we were made with the characteristics of God, but I grew and still believe It means we were made in the triune nature of God. We are body, soul, and spirit. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 refers to this when it says "May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ”.” ——— Here’s how you can submit your own questions to DiscipleDojo: https://youtu.be/_bEUVpTSWLs More from Carmen Imes:
