THINK ABOUT IT

Man was made in the image of God. But what does it mean to be made in His image? What is God like? The Bible says, "God is a Spirit" ( John 4:24 ). When we think of a spirit, we think of something not limited by physical restraints—something unseen and greater than the material world. When God made man in His image, He created a spiritual being covered by an earthly body. We all have the breath of God and a spirit within us.
