Did We Lose the Image of God? The Two Natures of Man Explained

Are we really “made in the image of God”? And if so… what happened to that image after the Fall?

In this episode of In, With, and Under, we dive into one of the most misunderstood doctrines in Christianity: the Imago Dei — and the tension Lutherans uniquely confess: simul iustus et peccator, saint and sinner at the same time.

We’ll look at:

• What Scripture says about the image of God
• Why Genesis, Romans 7, and Jesus’ own words matter
• The difference between the broad and narrow image
• What was lost in the Fall — and what wasn’t
• How repentance lives inside the tension
• Why Matthias Flacius went too far
• How Rome, Evangelicals, Methodists, and Calvinists all get this wrong in different ways
• How the Lutheran Confessions thread the needle with clarity and precision

If you’ve ever heard someone say “God made me this way!” — you’ll want to watch this.

Because the truth is far richer, deeper, and more honest than the clichés.

This is the story of humanity’s created glory, our tragic corruption, and Christ’s restoration of the true Image. It’s the story of your life as a Christian: broken yet redeemed, sinner yet saint.

Welcome to the tension.
