To be made in the image of God is to be created with the Divine Nature.
Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Col 3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him
Eph 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness
.2 Peter 1:3-4
3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
With a meditation we see that man was created with the knowledge of God which is righteousness and holiness (God aloneness) or we can say, man was created with the Divine nature.
Adam and Eve sinned and they lost the Divine- Nature and all men are born without the image of God or the Divine-Nature
.Ps 25:8 Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he teach sinners in the way.
7:29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
God give to the renewed man the image of God or His Divine Nature.
