We are the image and likeness of God

What does ‘we are the image and likeness of God’ mean?
SH 467:1-16
_Question_. – What are the demands of the Science of
Soul?
_Answer_. – The first demand of this Science is, “Thou
shalt have no other gods before me.” This _me_ is Spirit.
Therefore the command means this: Thou shalt
have no intelligence, no life, no substance, no
truth, no love, but that which is spiritual. The second
is like unto it, “Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.”
It should be thoroughly understood that all men have one
Mind, one God and Father, one Life, Truth, and Love.
Mankind will become perfect in proportion as this fact
becomes apparent, war will cease and the true brother-
hood of man will be established. Having no other gods,
turning to no other but the one perfect Mind to guide
him, man is the likeness of God, pure and eternal, hav-
ing that Mind which was also in Christ.
467:1-16
