Genesis 1:27....

So God created man in His own Image. In the Image of God created He him; male and female created He them.

We are created in the Image of God. When we were born into this natural realm, we were born after the nature of Adam. When we are born again, we are born back to the nature of Adam BEFORE THE FALL. The Adam that was created was created in the Likeness and the Image of God... his spirit man was the way that God had created it.
