Well, in Q5 of Heidelberg we saw that men are completely incapable of obeying God's law - even when it is stated as simply as, "Love God and love your neighbor." We are as out of true as the barn in this picture. Does this mean that God created us unable to satisfy him? That would be strange, wouldn't it? That would be like a man deciding to build a barn - but deliberately making it too small and leaky and falling down. Did God build us that way?
Q6: Did God then create man so wicked and perverse? A: By no means; but God created man good, and after his own image, in true righteousness and holiness, that he might rightly know God his Creator, heartily love him and live with him in eternal happiness to glorify and praise him. Scripture Proofs: Gen1:31, Gen1:26-27, Col3:9-10, Eph4:23-24, 2 Cor3:18
