"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. Then God said..."
For five days God spoke and the heavens and the earth were created. His Word brought creation into existence; and God saw that it was good.
And, on the sixth day God said:
"Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."
Even though man lives in wilful disobedience to God, God continues to reach out to man, and for all who will respond, He will once again create man in His own image.
"...put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him..." Colossians 3
"But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit." 2 Corinthians 3:18
