When Adam & Eve sinned, they and their seed after them, which includes every one of us, lost the image of God. Mankind took on the image of the devil, one of sin and unrighteousness. Oh, how that grieved God! Notwithstanding, He drove them out of the Garden. What was God now going to do that man might be able to take on His image again, one of holiness and righteousness? When Jesus came to earth to walk in the flesh to show mankind how to live, He gave the answer: "Ye must be born again". Everyone must be born again of His Spirit and His Word by the cleansing of His blood. If a soul rejects this highway of holiness, then he/she will die without God's image and be carried away into hell prepared for the devil and his angels.
Man never had the very image of ‘god’ to begin with.

Actually, since God is Love and He created us out of that Love, a part of His love is within us all. That is the iamge we are created in. The image of Love. It is that Love that we are to perfect in order to enter into His Kingdom.

When I look into the eyes of my grandson, I see the image of God looking back into my eyes. At one time, we were all innocent babies until the enemy of our souls deceived us about the meaning of life. Even the most wicked of men were once innocent children until the power of sin marred their souls. You think God does not understand the dilemma of man? Jesus demonstrated God's love in that WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS CHRIST DIED FOR US. In that way, God gave us all he could give, the manifold wisdom and treasures are given to us freely in Christ. To teach otherwise and to discourage people from seeking to enter the Kingdom of God is anti-Christ in nature.
Some can reject Jesus as a serpent seed doctrine author from John 3 , But the fact is that people will not see the the kingdom of Heaven or protection from the kingdom of darkness from the evil spirit unless you are born again into the Honor of Jesus Word loving God and resisting the sin of this World ,..... Simply put People will not see anything of the spirit, apart of believing in ghosts and aliens from mars and superstitions of old wives tails.......Does that mean once born again all sin and demon influences are gone ?...... No But Jesus has a plan for His believers can be free from corrupting the Spirit from Heaven that Jesus puts on His believers ,.... and Jesus spirit will remove all darkness that come their way when they pray the blood of Jesus prayers..... People who are Born again must also command the Holy Spirit to come and live on their bodies and help them or their spirit may be never developed for Jesus blessing ..... Does being Born again mean the Resurrection of the Body of Christ has occurred ?....... No Even Apostle Paul condemned two teachers for teaching the resurrection has happened and excommunicated them until they came and repented to him...... The Resurrection of the Body of Christ will come after Jesus Second Coming ...... Being Born Again mean that they will all have ticket into Heaven ? ......No they will still have to go through the Judgment seat of Christ after they pass on and at the last day ..... Being Born again mean that they will begin to see the Spirit World of the kingdom of God and their Soul can be collected so it will not be lost in hell ,..... See Jesus will judge their soul for salvation into Heaven..... Jesus will judge a live soul for un-repented iniquities and for fruit of the Spirit and whether there is fruit or not .... Hard for you .. Seek the face of Jesus, He has a plan , and the critics don`t....
For instance, Levi did not determine himself to be of the seed of Abraham, to be in Abraham's loins as here Heb 7:9-10
9And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
10For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
Who determined that Levi was of the seed of Abraham ?
How did Levi get into the loins of Abraham ?
This is why Levi was born of the seed of Abraham, He had a life [seminal] in Abraham before He was born. If Levi did not have this life in Abraham, he could never had been born of His seed.

How does learning how to love perfectly atone for past sins?
How does learning how to love perfectly atone for past sins?
Because Love is who we are. Right now, we have forgotten so we do things that aren't loving. When we are being Love and complete Love, there is no sin and all past sins are forgiven.

Children don't have to be taught to hit or to lie. They have to be taught NOT to.
How is that a result of our natural, in-born, loving nature?
