For the bible says, "And God said; Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them" (Gen. 1:26-27) Understand that God created people with having his characteristics rooted in them so that they will be able to show the very same aspects of God.
