"Why Did God Create Me?"

Let us go back before the beginning of time. Sometime in eternity past, before the earth was created. Let us go into the Council Chambers of heaven where a meeting is taking place(yes there is only one God yet manifested in three distinct persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit). In order for us to comprehend the Destiny of Nations we must look into the heart and mind of God for His original intent. What is Gods intent for the creation of Human beings? It was at this time in eternity past that God began to express His deepest desires (yes God has desires). See the heart of God is love; His nature is to give love and He desires love to be reciprocated back to Him. The many faceted expressions of Yaweh's love encompasses the Father's heart, the Bridegroom's heart, and the Mothering nurturing heart of the Holy Spirit. In order for God to satisfy His inner desire it was necessary to create a complex intelligent being with the capacity to make rational decisions and one who had the freedom of choice to enter into a loving relationship with Him. God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; _ _ _ So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them" Genesis 1:26. Through the Human family the Father would have a family, the Son would have a bride, and the Holy Spirit would have a family of Sons and Daughters. God knew that by creating man with a free will there existed the possibility that man could be corrupted. The power of darkness already lurked upon the face of the earth and temptation waited in the garden. God knew there would be a confrontation. He didn't want to simply create robots or beings that did not have the power of choice; therefore it was necessary for His creation to have the power to freely make the choice to enter into relationship with Him. The question that confronted the council was what would happen if the man made the wrong choice? God is righteous and holy and cannot fellowship with sin, and righteousness demands that a penalty be paid when the eternal laws of heaven are broken. The penelaty for sin is an immediate separation from the presence of God. In the eternal laws of heaven the penalty for sin is death. Knowing what would happen, Jesus stood up and proclaimed, "If the man fails I will pay the penalty." Thus He became the Lamb of God slain from before the foundation of the world. And so God created man in His own image. God created man to worship Him in true fellowship. This was God's intention for the human race and when we are not in fellowship with Him we are worshipping something else. He desires our full attention, our total surrender, our unbridled love and devotion.If you believe in an intelligent Designer you come to appreciate the beauty of God's crown jewel of creation, the human race. We have been fearfully and wonderfully designed and created.
