Umat Kristen purba mengakui bahwa citra Allah sudah rusak akibat dosa.<ref>"Oleh karena itu, umat Kristen purba membenarkan baik kemuliaan martabat manusia, lantaran manusia diciptakan menurut citra Allah, maupun kebejatan manusia, lantaran citra Allah di dalam diri manusia dibengkokkan dan diselewengkan dosa." Allison, Gregg; Allison, Gregg. Historical Theology: An Introduction to Christian Doctrine (hlm. 322). Zondervan.</ref> Meskipun demikian, nas Kejadian 9 meneguhkan bahwa citra Allah tidak dibinasakan dosa, karena citra Allah tetap ada di dalam diri manusia sesudah kejatuhan manusia pertama maupun selepas air bah. Tanpa mengkompromikan komitmen terhadap kemuliaan martabat manusia sebagai makhluk yang dijadikan menurut citra Allah, nas-nas Alkitab mengarahkan orang kepada gagasan bahwa citra Allah dapat dikembangkan dan dimatangkan.<!--
In Genesis 5, the image of God in humanity is correlated with the image of Adam in his son Seth. Commentators have reflected that the son better reflects the father as he matures and that while there may be physical comparisons there is also a resemblance in character traits. "The biblical text, by offering us this explanation, gives us the key that while we are all in the image of God, we likewise have the capacity to become more and more in the image of God; that is, we were created with the potential to mirror divine attributes."<ref>Walton, John H. Genesis (The NIV Application Commentary) (Kindle Locations 2826–2828). Zondervan.</ref> This lines up with several of the New Testament texts which refer to "being renewed in knowledge" and "being conformed to the image". The idea is that through spiritual growth and understanding one can mature spiritually and become more like God and represent him better to others.
