The image of God and being made in the image of God

Is there a difference between our being made in the image of God and Christ being the image of God? This question challenges us on many levels:

The ontological/functional level. Is the image of God a part of our being still or as Christians do we live in the image of God: Christ

The gender level. Is the image of God to be equated with being male and female? If so then how is Christ male and female?

The relational level. If we all possess at the least a faint trace of being made in the image of God then what does this mean for those who are outside of Christ?
