The entire chapter reads:

"Some will now say: But in the Bible we read:

"....Christ, who is the image of God." 2 Corinthians 4:4

Surely this makes Jesus God. Well then, we should also read

"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." Genesis 1:27"

Adam and Eve are clearly created. Jesus is not. For we do not read as with the former creation, that "In the image of God He made them", but rather that He "IS the image of God".

More is said about this image and reflection of God to us in Colossians 1:15-17

He is the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn over all creation.
For by him all things were created:
things in heaven and on earth,
visible and invisible,
whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities;
all things were created by him and for him.
He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

He is the creator, not a created being.

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness. (Philippians 2:5-7)

His human likeness was "made", but his divine nature is eternal and uncreated. This is the clear teaching of the holy scriptures.

If He is not created in God's image but is rather God's image in man, how ought we to treat such a one? In Psalm 2, it says of Christ's return, "Kiss the Son, lest He destroy you in His anger, which flares up in but a moment."

Today is still the time of grace. But the judgement will come and your destiny will be decided upon what you did with the Son. Do not close your eyes to this message. God is not mocked.
