And God looked at all that he had created and he found it very good. Genesis 1:31
Chapter 17 picks up wher chapter 16 left off, talking about creation, but specifically the creation of the human person. God made humans out of the earth (v1) with strength like his own and in his own image (v3). He put them in charge of the world (co-creators with God) (v4), gave them knowledge (v 11) and in doing so established a covenant with them (v12).
In spite of this, people sinned and continue to sin. That's why this chapter then leads to a call to repentance. We all need to turn back to God time and time again.
