Westminster Confession of Faith

Chapter 4: Of Creation

1
It pleased God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
1
for the manifestation of the glory of his eternal power, wisdom, and goodness,
2
in the beginning, to create or make of nothing the world, and all things therein, whether visible or invisible, in the space of six days, and all very good.

2
After God had made all other creatures, he created man, male and female,
1
with reasonable and immortal souls,
2
endued with knowledge, righteousness, and true holiness, after his own image,
3
having the law of God written in their hearts,
4
and power to fulfil it;
5
and yet under a possibility of transgressing, being left to the liberty of their own will, which was subject unto change.
6
Beside this law written in their hearts, they received a command not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil;
7
which while they kept they were happy in their communion with God, and had dominion over the creatures.
