And if so, what for?
I mean, does an omniscient, omnipresent and almighty god actually have NEEDS?

God *is* Love.
So, you could say that God created us to love us.

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 isn't 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].

The correct question is, Christians, do you need your God? What for? If so, when do you actually plan on doing what He taught about Christianity?

No, His reason for existence is in himself
our reason for existence is in Him we need Him
He offers himself to Us
If we don't take Him up on that offer
He is Still GOD

no he doesn't need us. He is not a needy God.
We are here to be study guides for the demons, angels, satan and others who decide not to believe.
then, their condemnation will be just.
