       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. Now, after Adam and Eve fell, everyone also has the capacity for evil, really, the bend for evil. Thus begets the need for the problem to be rectified. We know this has been corrected in God giving his own Son to us, for us. He bestows upon us the transformation that each of us need. The only thing we have to do is accept the gift, and then the transformation occurs. This get us back to what James is talking about here. James said that God “brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.” You see, we are the firstfruits of all his creatures. That’s because we have both sides of the coin. Those who aren’t in personal relationship with God, who haven’t yet accepted the gift, they have the ‘created in the image of God’ side.
