According to Dr. Buzzell, “of all the things God created, nothing mattered as much to God as you and me.” Why were we created?
-
We were the special focus of God’s creation because we were created in his image and likeness and he . He loved us yet we rebelled and were full of wickedness and evil.
He wanted us to worship him and we would be blessed by him. -
God created man because He wanted someone to abide with Him eternally that would give Him praise and honor Him above all other things. Unlike the birds, animals, and plants, He gave us a soul and free-will, that way we could choose to worship Him and not be forced like some machine built only to serve. He created us so we would serve but only out of the love from our hearts for such a loving Father and Creator. That is why we matter most to Him.
-
We have a special relationship to God (we were created in His image and likeness). No other creature in God’s earth has this special relationship with Him. So in effect, we should reciprocate God’s love for us with our deep love for Him. However, because of sin, man has been in a state of rebellion until Jesus came, and restored our relationship with the Almighty.
-
We were created for God’s pleasure. All things were created by Him for Him. (Colossians 1:16). We were created in God’s image and likeness, so that we may know God, love God and worship God. God created us so that we may have the pleasure of knowing Him.
-
I think man was a part of God’s plan from the beginning. He wanted company and wanted folks to love Him. He also needed someone to care for the great world He had created.
