Note 504 — Chapter X · MORAL GOVERNMENT. I. ITS GROUND.—THE CORRELATION BETWEEN GOD AND MAN.
Reading edition
Some theologians affirm that this "image of God" was utterly and totally lost in the fall. Such an unqualified statement does not, however, seem warranted by Scripture. After the fall, the sanctity of human life is still grounded upon the fact that man is "made in the image of God" (Gen. ix. 6), and Paul affirms of man, as man, that he is "the image and glory of God" (1 Cor. xi. 7).
