What does it mean that we are created in God’s image? What does it mean that all the fullness of God dwelled in Jesus Christ? What does it mean for us that our sin damaged God’s image in Adam/Eve, and now that our sin damages the image of God and the body of Christ today?

what does it mean that we are created in Gos’s image? That we were created good with the ability to be obident to God’s will but God took a greater risk of endowing us with free will which made us unique. when sin and pride entered the world through our first parents then the natural order became tainted with selfishness and self seeking fullfilment which is the enemy of true love.. then man turned himself for life giving power instead of depending on God so therefore I believe that this is the cause of evil in man…
What does it mean that all the fullness of God dwelled in Jesus Christ? God desires to fill us with the fullness of Himself.. that is why God sent Jesus into this earth so that he could restore our ultimate purpose of a Holy relationship with God..
What does it mean for us that our sin damaged God’s image in Adam and Eve? and now that our sin damages the image of God and the body of Christ today?
God made us able to choose and act freely but when we choose to sin Gods image became corrupted our perceptions became disorted and we no longer see things as God sees them…
