Many of us have forgotten the reason why we were created. We do not know
the purpose of our creation in God’s point of view. Most of us only
know that we must live our lives to the fullest and fulfill all our
goals and dreams in life. Why did God created Adam and Eve? Why did God
created us?
After God created everything else, He said, "Let us make man in our
image, after our likeness.” Stooping down, He took up clay and shaped
it. He shaped and formed Adam and blew into his nostrils the breath of
life, and he became a living soul. God created Adam and Eve and He
placed them in the beautiful garden of Eden. In the cool of the day, God
walked with Adam and Eve in the garden and they joyfully adored God and
have fellowship with Him. Unlike any of God’s creation, it was only
Adam and Eve who were able to provide the fellowship that God desired.
Back then, Adam and Eve have no any other concerns in life. Their
nakedness was not their concern because God’s glory clothed and covered
them. All they did was to talk to God, walked with Him, loved Him and
worshiped Him every single day in Eden. Adam and Eve’s unique purpose in
life was to bring joy and fellowship to God. It was the reason why they
were created, that they might worship God, glorify Him and love Him
forever.
Everything was perfect in the garden for Adam and Eve. Then one day,
God withdrew for a moment. While He was gone, the evil one, Satan came
and deceived Adam and Eve. They disobeyed God and the fellowship was
broken. After they ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and
evil, they looked at themselves for the first time and saw themselves in
different light. They gathered fig leaves to hide their nakedness. Adam
and Eve became consumed with their outer appearance. They focused on
the outside and they have forgotten their inward beauty and the reason
why they were created.
God came just like before and He searched for Adam and Eve. They
were nowhere to be found and He called them, “Where are you?” That time,
Adam and Eve were hiding among the trees. They heard the voice of God
calling them like before so they can walk in the garden and have some
time together. Adam and Eve were afraid because they were worrying about
their nakedness. They might thought, “What was God doing here?” They
have forgotten that God came so that He may have some time with them
again. Something happened during the fall that changed Adam and Eve’s
relationship with God. They have forgotten their unique purpose of
worshiping God. Adam and Eve forgot who they were. They forgot the
purpose of their existence. So they wander out into the world not
knowing why they live.
Many people of today still do not know the reason why they were
created. The enemy had robbed us of our true identity. We do not know
why we are here so many people search for answers and explanation of
their existence. If you asked someone, “Why are you here? What is the
purpose of your life?” He/she might answer, “I want to make money. I
want to fulfill my goals and dreams. I want to be successful in life.”
But those things that people want are temporary. We can do them in our
life and then we get old and die. But what is the real purpose of your
life?
This is the condition of us today. People do not know why they are
here. People do not know the purpose of their life. The enemy, Satan,
offers everything in the world so he can keep us from finding our true
purpose. He offers us anything that will distract us and consume our
time, our whole life to other things that we were not created for. In
the Bible, our defined purpose is that we might worship God and enjoy
Him forever. Are you worshiping God? Do you spend time with Him, talking
to Him, worshiping, adoring Him? Or do you spend your time to other
things not knowing your true purpose?
Don’t you know that in heaven, they are worshiping God without
ceasing saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth
is full of his glory!” (Isaiah 6:3) God made us in His own image so we
can live forever in His presence and worship Him. He created us so we
can worship Him in the beauty of His glory and holiness. That is the
reason why we were created.
“Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker!” Psalm 95:6
ALL GLORY TO GOD!
