"Being made in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:27), human beings have the ability to know God—and therefore love Him, worship Him, serve Him, and fellowship with Him. God did not create human beings because He needed them. As God, He needs nothing. In all eternity past, He felt no loneliness, so He was not looking for a “friend.” He loves us, but this is not the same as needing us. If we had never existed, God would still be God—the Unchanging One (Malachi 3:6)."

"The I AM THAT I AM (Exodus 3:14) was never dissatisfied with His own eternal existence. When He made the universe, He did what pleased Him, and since God is perfect, His action was perfect. “It was very good” (Genesis 1:31)."

“for His pleasure.” Revelation 4:11 says, “Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were created.” Colossians 1:16 reiterates the point: “All things were created by Him and for Him.”

a common argument from atheists and skeptics is that if all issues choose a reason, then God additionally should choose a reason. the top is that if God needed a reason, then God isn't God (and if God isn't God, then of course there is no God). it relatively is a touch extra state-of-the-paintings style of the hassle-free question “Who made God?” anybody is familiar with that something would not come from no longer something. So, if God is a “something,” then He ought to have a reason, actual? The question is hard as a results of fact it sneaks interior the fake assumption that God got here from someplace after which asks the place that ought to be. the respond is that the question would not even make sense. it relatively is like asking, “What does blue scent like?” Blue isn't interior the class of issues which have a scent, so the question itself is defective. interior the comparable way, God isn't interior the class of issues that are created or brought about. God is uncaused and uncreated—He purely exists. How do all of us understand this? all of us understand that from no longer something, no longer something comes. So, if there have been ever a time whilst there became relatively no longer something in lifestyles, then no longer something might have ever come into lifestyles. yet issues do exist. as a result, as a results of fact there ought to in no way have been relatively no longer something, something had to have continually been in lifestyles. That ever-present element is what we call God. God is the uncaused Being that brought about each and every thing else to come again into lifestyles. God is the uncreated writer who created the universe and each little thing in it.

God didn't put us here just to indulge ourselves or have a good time (at least in the way some people would define it). God put us here for a purpose—and that purpose is to live for Him and experience the joy of His presence every day.

The problem is, God wants to be at the center of our lives‐but so do we. We want to run our own lives and be free to do anything we please because we think that must be the path to happiness. But when we live only for ourselves, we find it doesn't bring us happiness after all. In fact, a life of self-indulgence only leads to emptiness. The Bible warns, "There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death" (Proverbs 14:12).

But God has another way for us—His way! It alone is the way of peace, and it alone will bring us true happiness. Not only that, but His path alone will lead us to heaven. What is that way? It is the way of the cross—Christ's cross. On the cross Christ took away all our sins and selfishness, and now He wants to come into our lives and replace them with His love.

Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full" (John 10:10). Turn to Christ today and ask Him to come into your life. Then ask Him to begin changing you from within—and He will, as you yield your life to Him and allow His Word, the Bible, to shape your life every day.

To have a relationship with Him. We sin which removes us from the ability to have that relationship (God is holy and just, sin alienates us from Him). In order to restore that fellowship, God provided payment for that sin through Christ Jesus, that through acceptance of His free gift of salvation, we might be restored to that relationship.

I wonder who created God? And why God´s creator decided to make him a man and not a woman.

Actually we are all part of the whole (God) we just don´t realize it, or have forgotten it. We are all working our way back to an understanding of our devine nature.

That he did, I'm certain. His mind is incomprehensible to humans, believers and non-believers, so that to definitively answer the why, I think, is impossible. But I'll ask Him when I get there. In the meantime, it's enough to try to follow Christ's example.

He created us to have a personal relationship with Him, and to glorify Him forever. And because of our sin, He sent Jesus to die for us so that we can still have that relationship. That is how much He loves us.

God created us to live out His plan for our lives so that we can live abundant, fulfilling and fruitful lives to glorify and magnify Him. He made us so He knows precisely what is best for our lives. We can only live our best if we live in God's will.

To enjoy. Like you marry and you want a son, the reason is to enjoy.

Do you need more explanation?

purpose. If we strive to imitate Christ I believe, we will be meet-
ing that purpose.
