Some people believe it means God resembles humans physically. Other people believe it means that humans were meant to think, reason, create, and make their own choices.
AnswerGod is three part, the image is the physical aspect. God is soul and spirit also, which also man was created to mirror. Man was created a triune, after the nature of God, which is a triune. Man has a body, a soul, and a spirit. This is a mirror of the triune nature of God, so in fullness, when man is created after God's image, its referring to the whole package of soul and spirit as well as the physical body with its characteristics.
AnswerScripture tells us that God is Living, God is Infinite, God is Truth. Scripture also tells us that we are not God but made in the image of God which means that we have the capacity for infinite life and truth.
AnswerScripture says we are made in God's image. "Image" is defined as a physical likeness or representation, photographed, painted, sculptured, or otherwise made visible.
According to Scripture God describes himself as:
Living ("Now the Babylonians had an idol called Bel, - Daniel Chapter 14)
Infinite ("I AM WHO AM." -Exodus Chapter 3)
Truth ("I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me." - John Chapter 14).
So we are made to represent:
Living - we see this in what we have created all around us
Infinite - we are not tied to the here and now which gives us a claim to infinity.
Truth - is a concept with which we are very familiar and we can emulate the truth in the world in which we live.
To put it simply we are the visible representation of Living, Infinite, Truth in the world which has its existence in the Living, Infinite, Truth we call God..

Who are made in the image and likeness of god?
We humans are made in God's image. Genesis 1:27 says, "And God proceeded to create the man in his image, in God's image he created him, male and female he created them." Being made in God's image does not mean that we were made to look like him because he is a spirit person, John 4:24 says, " God is a spirit." When he created us in his image it means that he created us with his qualities, and the ability to use them.
