Genesis 1: 26 shows that when God made man he said. " Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness.

God made us to be visible creatures, but God is a spirit, which means that He is invisible.

So being in God's likeness means that we have received the ability to have God's qualities.

Which are according to Galatians 5: 22.23 described as the spirit of God, which is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, mildness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.

After creating everything that is needed on earth for the human race to be happy, here is how God is described in Genesis 1: 31 . " After that God saw evereything he had made, and look ! it was VERY GOOD, which means nothing was missing.

So to answer your question which is: " What does God say about being a man? Genesis 2: 15-17 shows that we were to live up to God's expectations in His likeness, with qualities mentioned above and to take good care of our habitat as read in Genesis 1: 26; 2: 15.

So being a man in God's eyes is to honour him as the creator of all things, described in Revelation 4: 11 in these words. " You are worthy, Jehovah our God, to receive the glory and the honour and the power, because you created all things, and because of your will they came into existence and were created.

Being a man is also accepting that we are not gods as it was promised by Satan to Eve, in the Garden of E'den in Genesis 3: 5
