Yesterday I was on an adventure to find out why did God create us? Was it for friendship? To be worshiped? To be praised and glorified? Why oh why did God create us. If He knows all and knows that Adam and Eve were going to sin and break fellowship with Him why did He still go on making us?
Here is what I found:
Gens 1:1 In the beginning God created Heavens and Earth.
-so this tells me that God created Earth and Heavens. And this word Heavens translates as the cosmos, not Heaven and Hell.
Gens 3:22 God intended on mankind living forever until Adam and Eve sinned.
- Now this is telling me that once God created us that He desired to have eternity with us on earth. We also know that God walked with Adam and Eve in the garden BUT Adam and Eve never saw God.
John 1:3 All things were created through Him
-(Jesus the Word) So Jesus was there before Time and when creation took place it happened through Jesus Christ.
Acts 17:25 God does not dwell in temples made with human hands. Nor is He worshiped with men's hands as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath , and all things.
- This is the most key verse I found. The first part of it tells me that God does not dwell in things made with mans hands. So, God is not "in" church! We don't have to go to church to find God. Church is a bunch of friends getting together to share something in common, much like a super bowl party would be. The second part tells me that GOD NEEDS NOTHING. So this really messes with me. If God doesn't need us then why did he put us here? Not for amusement or entertainment because He doesn't need that.
Then one more verse I found. Gen 1:26 Let US make man in our own image.
I think about back in the old days or even over in East a King or Ruler will have a statue made of himself to claim that he is ruler over that land.
I think God has done this as well. But we are the statue. We are what God uses to claim His ruler ship over this world. But is that why he created us, to rule over something?
So all this and I still didn't get the answer I was hoping for. When Jamie came home yesterday I had written this question on our mirror, hopping to get some feed back from him. What he said messed me up big time....
"Why do you want to have children?"
Do I need to have children? No, but I want to have them....
