Genesis 1:27
God Created Man and Woman in His Own Image
27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
God so LOVES the world that He sent His Son to dwell among us...He did not condemn us for our sins, but sent His Son to help us...In sending His Son, God had this Plan to save us from our sins...Sin had mastered man, but God's LOVE showed through our sins, and He still can see the reflection of the Divine Image of Himself that He created...Just like Adam and Eve, when they were first created, they were without sin...Sin was not apart of the Garden of Eden...Sin is foreign to Paradise...So God sent His Son so that we could see His Divine Image, and perhaps a glimpse of what Adam and Eve were like in the beginning...
Bishop Fulton Sheen writes: “Our blessed Lord was hopeful about humanity...He always saw men the way He originally designed them...He saw through the surface, grime, and dirt to the real man underneath...He never identified a person with sin...He saw sin as something alien and foreign which did not belong to man...Sin had mastered man but he could be freed from it to be his real self...Just as every mother sees her own image and likeness on her child’s face, so God always saw the divine image and likeness beneath us.”...
