"IN the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him." We have already studied the Scriptural account of man's creation, so far as was necessary to a clear understanding' of the fact that this race of ours had an actual and definite beginning. Adam was not the son of a father, who was the son of another father, and so on up to an eternity of generations, an endless succession of ancestors. God made him out of the dust of the earth at once; all at once; he did not evolve or develop an insect or a reptile out of some organic monad, some protoplasm of jelly, and then better that into an animal, and then educate or finish up that animal into a more respectable ape or chimpanzee, and then out of him fashion a human being, who would have fitting gifts to be a lawyer, a preacher, or a professor of geology. Those of our book-writers who scientifically believe they had such an ancestry, long drawn out, are quite welcome to their faith. Our revelation of a divine will in the creation informs us that the Almighty did for human beings what he did for no other creature that be then brought into existence; he gave them some sort of mysterious resemblance to Himself. Now, in this study, we advance to a still more interesting inquiry concerning the nature of the man whom the creation ushered forth into history with such abruptness and force. The importance of the opening chapter of Genesis settles itself around the announcement that man was mode "in the image of God" what can that declaration mean? It meets no person's mind to imagine that this expression refers to any mere physical form or figure. It would be a coarse way of disposing of our questions to say that in the Scriptures God is personally represented as having eyes and hands, ears and feet, and these were given to human beings in the likeness of Him. For God is a spirit; we are not able to fashion any conception of Him, even in our minds, as one wearing a shape or size or figure. These verses of the Bible are only rhetorical methods of description, mere accommodations of speech so as to employ human ideas in the exhibition of divine mysteries. The "image of God" surely does not mean a portrait or a statue of God.... -- The Homiletic Review , Volume 14
