'''Man:''' It is said that each human has been made in the image of God; and, and as such , each human bears similarities to our Trinitarian Lord and God:

It should be noted that while each human being is in the ''image'' of God, humans were also created to be in His ''likeness''. St. Ephrem the Syrian often writes of mankind initially being "robed in glory," referring to bearing the ''likeness'' of God.<ref>St. Ephrem the Syrian, Hymns On Paradise, St. Vladimir Seminary Press, Crestwood, NY (1997).</ref> This, however, God is where ''the Fall'' is evidentgood; forand, ''His likeness'' refers to be ''His goodness.like'' In other words, to be like God, a person needs to be ''good'' as well. Obviously This, all having sinnedhowever, we fall from this aim. As suchis where ''the Fall'' is evident; for, as St. Ephrem points out, when Adam and Eve looked to themselves to determine right and wrong (daring to become as God without God<ref>Clark Carlton, The Life, Regina Orthodox Press, Salisbury, MA (2000), p. 22.</ref> choosing their own leadership rather than God's by not waiting to know all things through and with Him) they became naked--no longer bearing His likeness... no longer "robed in glory."--and From this point on, we know the tale... in God's mercy, they departed Eden. (For giving them access to the Tree of Life--immortality--when not in God's likeness--would indeed have been a living hell.)
