Apr 28, 2021 · God meant Adam to live forever, without sickness or blemish, in perfect communion with Him and the Garden. But the Fall (Genesis 3) changed all that. Because of man’s disobedience and God’s punishment, our connection to Him was broken, and our reflection of Him became colored.
According to this, God determined to give to the man about to be created in His likeness the supremacy, not only over the animal world, but over the earth itself; and this agrees with the blessing in Genesis 1:28, where the newly created man is exhorted to replenish the earth and subdue it; whereas, according to the conjecture of the Syriac ...
Jun 3, 2015 · Answer: Perhaps the best place to find a “reason” that God created us is in the first chapters of Genesis. Genesis 1:26 tells us that we were made in God’s image. We have the ability to create. We have a physical nature, but also a spiritual one. We have sovereignty within our own sphere.

The first thing that strikes us is the repetition of the plural pronouns in reference to God: “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness” (1:26). Jewish scholars usually explain this as God talking to the angels. But Scripture is clear that God did not take counsel with the angels when He created man (Isa. 40:12-26; 44:24), and beside...
“Let them rule” (1:26) is the consequence of “Let Us make man in Our image.” God gave the right of dominion over all living things to man. The command to subdue it (1:28) implies that there was work involved, even in the perfect setting of the Garden, to bring the creation under man’s rightful dominion. This dominion involves a stewardship of the e...
“Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it” (1:28). This is both God’s pronouncement of blessing as well as His delegation of responsibility. The blessing of sharing in God’s creative process by producing offspring was given to other living things besides man (1:22, 24-25). But man alone was commanded not only to fill the earth, b...
A man died and they put on his tombstone: “He came, stayed a while, and left.” Sad epitaph! But what if it had said, “He came, stayed a while, got married, worked at his job, raised a family, and left”? Throw in, “He became a success in his career and made a pile of money.” It’s still missing the purpose for which God created us. God made us indivi...

God created the heavenly bodies for signs, seasons, days, and years (Gen 1:14), but only humans tell time. God made trees that were pleasant to look at and good for food (Gen 2:8).
May 2, 2024 · In its simplest form, the answer is love. God created us out of love. Love is an intrinsic aspect of God’s nature, as stated in 1 John 4:8, and is characterized by mutual exchange. The Bible says we are made in God’s image (Gen. 1:31), meaning we were designed to both receive and express love.

Jan 30, 2024 · The short answer to the question “why did God create us?” is “for His pleasure.” Revelation 4:11 says, “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.”
