QUESTION: In Genesis 1:27, God created man in His own image. Then in
John 4:24, we see that God is a spirit. Now, what kind of man did God
create, spiritual or bodily man? Are we really like God?
ANSWER: God created the physical body and the spirit of man. “And the Lord
God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the
breath of life, and man became a living soul” (Genesis 2:7). Man is a living soul
(the total being) only when the body and the spirit are joined together. When a
body exists without the spirit, there is death, not life (James 2:26). Clearly, since
God is a spirit, it must then follow that the spirit of man was created in His image!
We have physical bodies. God does not. Therefore, the spirit of man is in His
image, but the total man is not! Faithful Christians will not be like Him in the
fullest sense until Christ comes again. “Beloved, now we are the sons of God,
and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall
appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is” (I John 3:2).
