God would have not been able to relate with man even when He is the creator of man if He had not made for Himself a provision. What is the provision that God made for Himself to relate with man? The provision God made was His image and that is why He came as Jesus Christ who is the express image of God.
1 Corinthians 11: 7
for a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man.
Genesis 5: 1
This is the book of the genealogy of Adam. In the day that God created man, He made him in the likeness of God.
What God made man to be continued after the fall, but how can man walk in it, since he has choose walking out of it?
Genesis 9: 6
Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man his blood shall be shed, for in the image of God He made man.
You can see the provision God made for Himself and that was why Jesus came.
Colossians 1: 15
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
