"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.'" - Genesis 1:26
Saying we bear God's image isn't saying He looks like us. It is, however, saying that we have many characteristics implanted into us that resemble Him. This fact alone gives us great dignity and worth...as well as breathtaking potential.
GO DEEPER: Romans 8:28-30 - Paul speaks of God's goal to make us "conformed to the image of Christ."
