Why are we here? That is what a friend asked me...

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

I believe we are here because of God!

OpenStudy (anticarnage):

YEAH

OpenStudy (jumperman):

We're here because God wants us to follow Him. It's in His plan. One could argue that we're an experiment. Others could argue that God was lonely. This is more of a question for God.

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

God made us so we could glorify Him and have fellowship with Him (1 John 1:1-3). He made Adam and Eve and put them in the garden, and then He walked in fellowship with them. He gave them the greatest thing they could have, His love and presence. After they sinned, God said, "Adam, where are you?" God sought Adam. In Exodus 25:8, God said to Moses while Israel was in the wilderness, "And let them construct a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them." In the New Testament in John 1:14 it says, "And the Word became flesh and dwelt (tabernacled) among us . . . " God seeks our presence. He wants to have fellowship with us. He made us to give us His love and enjoy His presence. But, man sinned and separated himself from God. That is why Christ died for sins so that our fellowship with God would be restored.

OpenStudy (anticarnage):

yep

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

“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.” Colossians 1:16 reiterates the point: “All things were created by him and for him.” Being created for God’s pleasure does not mean humanity was made to entertain God or provide Him with amusement. God is a creative Being, and it gives Him pleasure to create. God is a personal Being, and it gives Him pleasure to have other beings He can have a genuine relationship with. 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 (Exodus 3:14) was never dissatisfied with His own eternal existence. When He made the universe, He did what pleased Himself, and since God is perfect, His action was perfect. “It was very good” (Genesis 1:31).

OpenStudy (qwertty123):

God created mankind as a special species, above the other animals, and having at least some of the qualities of God, Himself. God appointed us as stewards of all His creation. Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. God blessed them; and God said to them, " Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth." (NAS, Genesis 1:26-28)

What will people think When they hear that I'm a Jesus freak What will people do when they find that it's true I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak There ain't no disguising the truth (Ain't no disguising the truth, no, I ain't into hiding the truth) -dc talk -Toby mac -Michael Tait - Kevin Max

OpenStudy (aveline):

We are here because our parents had sex.

OpenStudy (helpkay):

We are here to show others Christ thought us. Some people will think we are crazy some people will thing we are brain wash. I believe we are here to be a light house, a solider and a messenger. The world may never understand but one thing i know is that if there is a God and I know there is i'm going to serve him the best I can. We are here to fight against the world have to say and give them the truth. We are here because someone need to here about God. We are here because God loves use. We are here to seek and to save thoughts which are lost. We are here to worship and praise God. We are here thank God for all he done. We are here to sing and bless his name. I don't know about you but I am a Jesus freak.

OpenStudy (kenljw):

The most profound statement in the Gospel's is "with God all is possible" and most fail to comprehend it's significance. In Genesis God tells Cain in you do well you'll be accepted implying free will and individual discovery. Putting these two scriptures together one realizes we are not controlled and the future is truly open as God accepts the lives and experience of those who do well, which implies being in God's will.

OpenStudy (qwertty123):
