The Godhead pt. 8

Let Us (Genesis 1:26)

John 14:23, 1 John 5:7...Jesus said the father and he would make their abode in us, this is speaking of God as the temple and Christ as the high priest or in otherwards, God in us and us in God. Us being in the glory of God and the glory of God being in us, not just his Word, but also his Spirit.

 in our (Genesis 5:1…God dwells within himself)

Acts 17:28 & 29…we are the offspring of God

James 3:9…this shows us what Genesis 1 meant when it said likeness, it was referring to the similitude of God, but Jesus was made so much better, he was the exact image of God, the invisible God, he was the character of God in his fullness and we were made in the image of Christ

In the image of God:

Ephesians 2:10…this let’s us know that the original humans were created in the image of Christ, but because of the fall, we took on the image of Satan. This is why Ephesians 4:24 says we must put on the new man, which is the redeemed image of man or humans. God knows everything, so as Colossians 1:15&26 says, we were created in his image, meaning flesh.

When the Bible says that Jesus is the last Adam or human (because Adam means human), it's not talking about numerical value. It's expressing that Jesus is the archetype of every human, meaning that he is the original form that humans were created after. Humans were created based off his image. Jesus isn't the prototype, but the archetype, he's the original image of humans. This is why we are redeemed by him, because he is who we're supposed be like.
