According to Dr. Buzzell, “of all the things God created, nothing mattered as much to God as you and me.” Why were we created?

In Genesis chapter 1 verse 26 in the New Living Translation of the Bible, God created us in His image and likeness to have reign over the animals of the earth. I like to think that God made us CEO of the earth with Himself as the founder. In Psalm chapter 8, verses 4-6 nkjv David writes ” What is man that You are mindful of him? and the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, and You have crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet… God made us to represent Him on the earth. Unfortunately, man as a whole except for a few men that followed God in the Old Testament, did a poor job of doing that until Jesus came to redeem us. I am thankful that God is so much wiser that we are. LOL.

God created us to be stewards of the land, the animals and all of His creation.

To have fellowship with God.

We were created to love God and to be His People. We were to praise Him and Worship Him as beings He created. and provided everything for His people. He simply loved us and wanted a personal relationship with us.

To give glory back unto him. It is an awesome display of adoration when we who have been given a choice to worship and live for him submit ourselves back unto our creator.
