Why God Created Us

God created us for a purpose. Your life is not a cosmic accident. God has you on this planet for a real purpose. Life is not a meaningless journey with no goal. God has a purpose in all things. That certainly includes you. What is the purpose of God in your life?

Would you like to know God's purpose for your life with absolute certainty? Well, you can. God not only wants you to know that your life has a purpose, but He wants you to know exactly what that purpose is. God has revealed it to us in the Bible. Inspired by the Holy Spirit, the Bible tells us why God created us. God created us to the praise of His glory.

God made all things for His glory. We were made to bring honor and glory to God. If we live selfishly, we miss the purpose of God. That's called sin in the Bible. It means that we fall short of the glory of God. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).

God provided the way for us to live for His glory. The way is Jesus Christ. He is the way to a life full of purpose. God changes our hearts and lives through Christ. He shall conform all believers to the likeness of Christ, to the praise of His glory (1 John 3:2). You were created to bring glory to God in Christ. "We who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory" (Ephesians 1:12).
