The covenant to "make man in our own image" is not just a promise to create our physical body. Our road to exaltation requires divine intervention to remake us from our fallen selves into His image. The result is engraven on our countenance. It is His committment to our eternal progression.
On the other hand, if we are left unchanged, we try to reconcile our behaviors with our view of God. In order to pacify our guilt, we immediately set about creating god into our own image--we imagine Him in a way that condones our destructive behavior. He wouldn't judge me on this! God would send me to hell for this!
In the end, it still remains for us to accept His creation of us, daily, or begin the work of reinventing Him. There is no middle ground.
