Genesis 2
like father like son is an age old adage because it's generally true!
I was noticing a little boy in our congregation this past week and I thought- he looks so much like his Dad- a spitting image so to speak.

As a definition, Wayne Grudem says, ''The fact that man is in the image of God means that man is like God and represents God''
That begs the question in what way is man like God?
