divine likeness
Heavenly form reflected
Divine likeness is the quality of resembling or reflecting God, central to theological traditions that hold humans are created in God's image.
The concept suggests humans share attributes with the divine—rationality, moral capacity, creativity, or spiritual nature.
Humanity's divine likeness gives us dignity and responsibility.
In religious contexts, spiritual growth may be framed as restoring or deepening one's divine likeness.
