What Is Gods Purpose for the earth?

Answer 1

GOD put Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. Even though they became disobedient and died, God has made it possible for their children, including us today, to live forever in Paradise. The Bible promises: “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will [live] forever upon it.” Psalm 37:29.

The Bible tells about a “new heavens” and “a new earth.” (Isaiah 65:17) The present “heavens” are made up of today’s human governments, but Jesus Christ and those who rule with him in heaven will make up the “new heavens.” How wonderful it will be when this new heavens, which is God’s righteous government of peace, rules the entire earth!

What, then, is the “new earth”? The new earth will be good people who love Jehovah. When the Bible speaks of “the earth,” it sometimes means the people who live on the earth, not the land itself. ( Psalm 66:4; 96:1) So the people who make up the new earth will live right here on this earth.

The present world of wicked people will then be gone. Remember, the Flood of Noah’s day wiped out a wicked world of people. And, as we have learned, this present wicked world will be destroyed at Armageddon.

Imagine seeing the whole earth turned into Paradise! Jehovah says of that time: “Look! I am making all things new.” (Revelation 21:5) Consider what that will mean. When Jehovah has finished wielding his destructive power against this wicked old system, there will remain “new heavens and a new earth.” This means that a new government will reign from heaven over a new earthly society composed of those who love Jehovah and who do his will. Satan, along with his demons, will be put out of commission. (Revelation 20:3) For the first time in thousands of years, mankind will be free of that corrupt, hateful, negative influence. The sense of relief will no doubt be overwhelming.

Paradise will not be like the world we live in now. God never wanted the earth to be filled with trouble and sorrow, pain and suffering. In the future, God will make the earth a paradise. What will Paradise be like? Let us see what the Bible says:

Good people. Paradise will be the home of God’s friends. They will do good things for one another. They will live according to the righteous ways of God. Proverbs 2:21.

Plenty of food. In Paradise, there will be no hunger. The Bible says: “There will come to be plenty of grain [or, food] on the earth.” Psalm 72:16.

Fine houses and enjoyable work. On the Paradise earth, every family will have a home of its own. Everyone will do work that brings true happiness. Isaiah 65:21-23.

Peace worldwide. No longer will people fight and die in war. God’s Word says: “[God] is making wars to cease.” Psalm 46:8, 9.

Good health. The Bible promises: “No resident [of Paradise] will say: ‘I am sick.’” (Isaiah 33:24) Also, no one will be lame or blind or deaf or unable to talk. Isaiah 35:5, 6.

An end to pain, sorrow, and death. God’s Word says: “Death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Revelation 21:4.

Bad people will be gone. Jehovah promises: “The wicked, will be cut off from the very earth; and as for the treacherous, they will be torn away from it.” Proverbs 2:22.

People will love and respect one another. No longer will there be injustice, oppression, greed, and hatred. People will be united and will live in harmony with God’s righteous ways. Isaiah 26:9.

Answer 2

Originally, the earth was to be a paradise where humans would have endless life. We were to be caretakers of this paradise earth. However because of a rebellion against God by spirit creatures and the first human couple, this has not happened. Instead we now experience the results of that rebellion; human society as it currently is with all the suffering and injustice. But God's purpose for the earth has not changed. After he allows sufficient time for settling vital issues pertaining to the rebellion, God will remove wickedness from the earth and restore it. God and his son Jesus from heaven have already established the kingdom (government) which will accomplish these things. This kingdom will exert it's power over the earth in the very iminent future. Daniel 2:44 Psalm 37: 10,11, 29.
You probably knew that already. Didn't ya brotha?

Answer 3

God created a acceptable international interior the commencing up...the unique sin of Adam and Eve brought about the international to alter...we now stay in a sinful, corrupt international till the return of Jesus. After the in basic terms top judgement, God will set up a clean heaven and a clean earth. 2 Peter 3:13 in spite of the undeniable fact that we, in accordance to his promise, seem for brand spanking new heavens and a clean earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Revelation 21:11 Then I observed a clean heaven and a clean earth, for the 1st heaven and the 1st earth had exceeded directly to the excellent beyond, and there replaced into now no longer any sea. Isaiah sixty 5:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a clean earth: and the former shall no longer be remembered, nor come into recommendations. Isaiah 66:22 For via fact the hot heavens and the hot earth, which i'll make, shall proceed to be formerly me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your call proceed to be.

Answer 4

His purpose is the same as it was in the Garden of Eden. To have it populated by humans, in a paradise like state from end to end. Isaiah 55:11 is a promise that once God puts his will in force, it can not be held back. It will come true. The entire Bible was written to explain how we will eventually get back to that paradise. It mentions conditions for the future that will exist at Revelation 21:4. But there is more, there is a universal issue at stake and everyone is involved.

Answer 5

That ranks right up there with "What is the meaning of Life?"

... Why did God go to all this trouble to create this nice, perfect little blue gem of a world, create all these complicated little creatures, bring it together with all sorts of physical laws and order, then populate it with these belligerant things called "humans" and let them absolutely trash the place?

The answer really is restrained to either three possibilities: God created the Earth to serve as a home for his most beloved creations, there is no God and no reason behind the earth - it was all just one meaningless cosmic coincidence, or that the answer is there but we as humans cannot discern it.

Answer 6

To glorify himself.
Sounds kinda stuck-up huh? Well, it really would be for anyone except God. He didn't need anything before he made the world. He wasn't lonely. He didn't need to build his confidence. That's why it's really amazing that he did make the world. It was out of his largess, his goodness. And everything in this world was made to proclaim who he is. He doesn't need to be told that he's great, but we need to acknowledge that he is because it puts everything in its place. God is God and he is so good that he created us! What's so messed up about the world is that most people don't live according to this reality.

Answer 7

No in/This one little thing you are all the children of God and are just baby spirits at the start of it all living in the garden of God. To reach out with all of your love to the power of love to sent you free in the end .To be spirited away with the chosen.It like your in a egg that has yet to hatch onto life in its true form and that is spirit,the spirit that dwells within your soul has yet to be born.

Answer 8

Well, God intended it to be a fun paradise play place for us, but we wanted to use it for a search for knowledge - so now it's a kind of school.

Peace!

Answer 9

For humans to know Him and be in a relationship with Him so we may have eternal life.

Answer 10

Like Christians, Muslims believe that the present life is only a trial preparation for the next realm of existence. This life is a test for each individual for the life after death. A day will come when the whole universe will be destroyed and the dead will be resurrected for judgment by God. This day will be the beginning of a life that will never end. This day is the Day of Judgment. On that day, all people will be rewarded by God according to their beliefs and deeds. Those who die while believing that “There is no true god but God, and Muhammad is the Messenger (Prophet) of God” and are Muslim will be rewarded on that day and will be admitted to Paradise forever, as God has said:
“And those who believe and do good deeds, they are dwellers of Paradise, they dwell therein forever.”
(Quran, 2:82)
But those who die while not believing that “There is no true god but God, and Muhammad is the Messenger (Prophet) of God” or are not Muslim will lose Paradise forever and will be sent to Hellfire, as God has said:
“And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will not be accepted from him and he will be one of the losers in the Hereafter.” (Quran, 3:85)
And as He has said:
“Those who have disbelieved and died in disbelief, the earth full of gold would not be accepted from any of them if it were offered as a ransom. They will have a painful punishment, and they will have no helpers. ” (Quran, 3:91)
One may ask, ‘I think Islam is a good religion, but if I were to convert to Islam, my family, friends, and other people would persecute me and make fun of me. So if I do not convert to Islam, will I enter Paradise and be saved from Hellfire?’
The answer is what God has said in the preceding verse, “And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will not be accepted from him and he will be one of the losers in the Hereafter.”
After having sent the Prophet Muhammad to call people to Islam, God does not accept adherence to any religion other than Islam. God is our Creator and Sustainer. He created for us whatever is in the earth. All the blessings and good things we have are from Him. So after all this, when someone rejects belief in God, His Prophet Muhammad, or His religion of Islam, it is just that he or she be punished in the Hereafter. Actually, the main purpose of our creation is to worship God alone and to obey Him, as God has said in the Holy Quran (51:56).
This life we live today is a very short life. The unbelievers on the Day of Judgment will think that the life they lived on earth was only a day or part of a day, as God has said:
“He (God) will say, “How many years did you stay on the earth?” They will say: “We stayed a day or part of a day....” (Quran, 23:112-113)
And He has said:
“Did you then think that We had created you in jest (without any purpose), and that you would not be returned to Us (in the Hereafter)? So, God is exalted, the True King. None has the right to be worshipped but Him... ” (Quran, 23:115-116)
The life in the Hereafter is a very real life. It is not only spiritual, but physical as well. We will live there with our souls and bodies.
In comparing this world with the Hereafter, the Prophet Muhammad said: {The value of this world compared to that of the Hereafter is like what your finger brings from the sea when you put it in and then take it out.} The meaning is that, the value of this world compared to that of the Hereafter is like a few drops of water compared to the sea.

How Does Someone Become a Muslim?

Simply by saying with conviction, “La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammadur rasoolu Allah,” one converts to Islam and becomes a Muslim. This saying means “There is no true god (deity) but God (Allah), and Muhammad is the Messenger (Prophet) of God.” The first part, “There is no true god but God,” means that none has the right to be worshipped but God alone, and that God has neither partner nor son. To be a Muslim, one should also:

•Believe that the Holy Quran is the literal word of God, revealed by Him.
•Believe that the Day of Judgment (the Day of Resurrection) is true and will come, as God promised in the Quran.
•Accept Islam as his or her religion.
•Not worship anything or anyone except God.
The Prophet Muhammad said: {God is more joyful at the repentance of someone when he turns to Him in repentance than one of you would be if he were riding his camel in the wilderness, and it runs away from him, carrying his food and drink, so that he loses all hope of getting it back. He comes to a tree and lies down in its shade (awaiting death); for he has lost all hope of finding his camel. Then, while he is in that state (of desperation), suddenly it is there before him! So he seizes its halter and cries out from the depth of his joy, “O God, You are my servant and I am Your Lord!” His mistake comes from the intensity of his joy.}
