       So, when God created people, he created life in them, for God, for Jesus, they are life. This life within in them then, let’s call it the image of God, was the light of people—it was what was particularly good about them. As far as I know, nothing has changed with people today. We see, therefore, that men and women, whether regenerated or not, were created in the image of God and definitely have a capacity for good. It reminds me of what Jor-eL told Superman in the original Superman: The Movie (1978) and in Superman Returns (2006). He said, “They can be a great people, Kal-El, they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all, their capacity for good, I have sent them you... my only son.” This isn’t too far off for the Christian message, really, the message of reality. Yes, every individual created in God’s image bears God’s likeness, and with that likeness comes a capacity for good. The only problem is, is that there’s this thing called sin that has messed everything up.
