Why Did God Create Man?

 

Psalm 18:19

King James Version

19 He brought me forth also into a large place; 

he delivered me, 

because he delighted in me.

Why do you think we were created?

What did GOD need us for?

SPIRIT led me to GOD's purpose:

1. For His glory.

Isaiah 43:7 

King James Version

7 Even every one that is called by my name: 

for I have created him for my glory, 

I have formed him; 

yea, I have made him.

2. To praise Him.

Isaiah 43:21 

King James Version

21 This people have I formed for myself; 

they shall shew forth my praise.

3. That we may walk in good works.

Ephesians 2:10 

King James Version

10 For we are his workmanship, 

created in Christ Jesus unto good works, 

which God hath before ordained 

that we should walk in them.

4. Created by Him, for Him.

Colossians 1:16 

King James Version

16 For by him were all things created, 

that are in heaven, 

and that are in earth, 

visible and invisible, 

whether they be thrones, 

or dominions, 

or principalities, 

or powers: 

all things were created by him, 

and for him:

5. To pray to Him.

Jeremiah 29:11-12 

King James Version

11 For I know the thoughts 

that I think toward you, 

saith the Lord, 

thoughts of peace, 

and not of evil, 

to give you an expected end.

12 Then shall ye call upon me, 

and ye shall go and pray unto me, 

and I will hearken unto you.

6. To be His people.

Leviticus 26:12 

King James Version

12 And I will walk among you, 

and will be your God, 

and ye shall be my people.

7. That He may be all in all.

1 Corinthians 15:27-28 

King James Version

27 For he hath put all things under his feet. 

But when he saith all things are put under him, 

it is manifest that he is excepted, 

which did put all things under him.

28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, 

then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him 

that put all things under him, 

that God may be all 

in all.

8. To be sheep of His pasture.

Psalm 100:3 

King James Version

3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: 

it is he that hath made us, 

and not we ourselves; 

we are his people, 

and the sheep of his pasture.

9. To seek Him.

Acts 17:27 

King James Version

27 That they should seek the Lord, 

if haply they might feel after him, 

and find him, 

though he be not far 

from every one of us: 

10. To love Him.

Matthew 22:37-38 

King James Version

37 Jesus said unto him, 

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God 

with all thy heart, 

and with all thy soul, 

and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first 

and great commandment. 

As you can see, we're here to serve GOD.

Not the other way around.
