Christianity[edit] The Book of Genesis says that God created man in his own image.[Genesis 1:27] Christian theology asserts that humans are created to act in accordance to the will of their creator (see: Divine command theory). In general, Christians believe this means that the morally correct thing to do is reflect the character of the creator.[citation needed] Christian character is also defined as exhibiting the "Fruit of the Holy Spirit": love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.[Galatians 5:22-23] Doctrines of grace and total depravity assert that - due to original sin - mankind, entirely or in part, was incapable of truly being good without God's intervention; otherwise at best, one could only mimic good behavior for selfish reasons. |
