- In this verse God the Father tells us why He created man. There are two words which explain the result He wants mankind to achieve; “likeness” and” image.” The word likeness is Strong’s #1823 and refers to man’s outline or shape, which is a copy of God’s shape. The word image is Strong’s #6754, and the following explanation is from The Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament, “God’s image obviously does not consist in man’s body which was formed from earthly matter, but in His spiritual, intellectual and moral likeness to God from whom his animating breath came.”
