“Woman is made in the image of man.”

They say, “Woman is made in the image of man.” Is it true? No!

The Bible says, right from the start,

“Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.  Genesis 1:26,27

Some people cause a lot of harm by confusing 1 Corinthians 11:7, which says that woman is the glory of man-not the image of man.

A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.

Glory is a translation of the Greek word “doxa,” which means splendor or praise. It sounds like women make men look good.

And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3: 18

For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. Romans 8:29

All who follow Jesus are to be transformed and conformed into God’s image. Men and women were made in God’s image, from the Beginning. That never changed.

If you’re a follower of Jesus (see John 8:31,32), you were a sinner but are no longer; sin is not to be a lifestyle for you anymore. Yes, we all sin from time to time and do have God’s forgiveness, but we’re not to keep on sinning as a regular way of life.

No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him. 1 John 3:6

My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 1:2
