Genesis 5:1

This is the book (written record, the history) of the generations of (the descendants of) Adam.When God created man, He made him in the likeness of God (not physical, but a spiritual personality and moral likeness.)

Adam received his likeness from God, and so have we all these generations down. God created a people then, and God still sees us as His people now. Time does not change our relationship with God. We were always in the family and always in the plan of God. God loves us that much!
