Q. 6
Did God create man so wicked and perverse?
A.
No. God created man good and in his own image, that is, in true righteousness and holiness, so that he might rightly know God his Creator, heartily love him, and live with him in eternal blessedness, to praise and glorify him.
Scripture Genesis 1:27 · Genesis 1:31 · Ephesians 4:24 · Colossians 3:10
Q. 7
Then where does this corrupt human nature come from?
A.
From the fall and disobedience of our first parents, Adam and Eve, in Paradise; for there our nature became so corrupt that we are all conceived and born in sin.
Scripture Genesis 3 · Romans 5:12 · Psalm 51:5
Q. 8
But are we so corrupt that we are completely incapable of any good and inclined toward all evil?
A.
Yes, unless we are born again by the Spirit of God.
