The statement "God made man out of his own image" means that God made Adam and Eve, and made them holy like him. Unfortunetely, they sinned, but still were made from his image. God wants every human being to be holy as he is.

Adam was a perfect son of God, made in His ‘image and likeness.’ But since “God is a Spirit,” the resemblance could not be physical. (Genesis 1:26; John 4:24) The likeness lay in qualities that elevated man far above the animals. Yes, implanted in man from the beginning were the qualities of love, wisdom, power, and justice. He was endowed with free will and a capacity for spirituality. An innate moral sense, or conscience, enabled him to distinguish right from wrong. Man had intellectual capacity, enabling him to meditate on the reason for the existence of humans, to accumulate knowledge of his Creator, and to develop intimacy with that One. Thus equipped, Adam had all he needed to fulfill his role as administrator of God’s earthly handiwork.

It means that we were made with the same form of body/being. We all look different but we are all human beings. We have the same hearts and the same brain and other organs( except for male and female)

God is three person in one, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, man is also a trinity, Body, Soul, and Spirit.

I interpret this as free will. Of all the creatures, we have the will to move outside our original design.

why do people complicate things.
God is to man as man is to an image, a photograph.
God also called people sheep.
God is to man as man is to sheep.
