It often refers to something that shares a similar form or appearance but may not be identical in essence. This word is used to describe the likeness of Christ to humanity, the likeness of sinful flesh, and the likeness of God in creation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of likeness was significant in philosophical and religious contexts. The idea of resemblance was often used to discuss the nature of gods, humans, and the cosmos. In Jewish thought, the notion of being made in the "image" or "likeness" of God (Genesis 1:26) was foundational to understanding human identity and purpose.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>3667</b> <i>homoíōma</i> (a neuter noun derived from <i>homos</i>, "the same") – properly, the <i>same</i> as; <i>likeness</i>, <i>similitude</i> (resemblance).</p><p class="discovery"><a href="/greek/3667.htm">3667</a> <i>/homoíōma</i> ("likeness, <i>particular</i> similarity") is<i> a comparison</i> used to increase understanding. <a href="/greek/3667.htm">3667</a> <i>/homoíōma</i> ("resemblance") does <i>not</i> require one element of a comparison to be <i>derived</i> from the other; indeed, it can be wholly separate from it.
