The Solitary Church
It is worthy of remark that though God, as he went on in his work of creation for five days, and had pronounced each day's work good, yet it was not till the sixth day, after he had made man, the master-piece of his creation, that he said it was very good. "And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good” (Gen. 1:31). Yea, this first man was very good, for he was created in the image of God,—that is, he bore resemblance to God in this, that he was perfectly pure, and free from sin; but, alas, this did not last long, he soon lost it by committing sin!
