Catechism and Sacraments Q&A: How and why did God create us? Part I

May 12, 2022

The fourth question in the New City Catechism is: How and why did God create us?


The answer is: God created us male and female in His own image to know Him, love Him, live

with Him, and glorify Him. And it is right that we who were created by God should live to His

glory.


The Bible passage this question and answer is based off of is Genesis 1:27, which says,

“So God created man in his own image. In the image of God He created him; male and female,

He created them.”
