The Reformed theologians take the middle ground between the extremes of making the image of God to consist exclusively in man’s rational nature, or exclusively in his moral conformity to his Maker. They distinctly include both… While, therefore, the Scriptures make the original moral perfection of man the most prominent element of that likeness...
