Genesis 1:26-27
Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it.” So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

After the fall the bible still says man is in the image of God

Genesis 9:6
Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man his blood will be shed; for in His own image God has made mankind.

The N.T. also confirms this truth

1 Corinthians 11:7
A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man.

James 3:9
With the tongue we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness.

conclusion: Gods image in man has not changed. It remains the same. Its why man is redeemable because man is still made in God image and likeness.

hope this helps !!!
