Day 3 • Question 6
6 Did God, then, create man so wicked and perverse?
No, on the contrary, God created man good 1 and in his image, 2 that is, in true righteousness and holiness, 3 so that he might rightly know God his Creator, 4 heartily love him, and live with him in eternal blessedness to praise and glorify him. 5

Footnote 1
Genesis 1:31
And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
Footnote 2
Genesis 1:26-27
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.
