Why do we exist?

By: Lorenzo Porter

Why do we exist?
There are numerous questions without answers like "who is god?", "where is he?", "why did Virgin Mary appear in Lourdes or Medjugorje ( http://www.medjugorjemap.com ).

Have you ever ask yourself "why do we exist?" This is a question which has plagued mankind for centuries. Is there a definite answer to this question, or is it all about maxim and self-determination? If we are ready to accept the Bible as truth, we can find out the answer to the question "where did we come from?" Relating to Scripture, we were created by God and this leads us to the question is…why he did it? At last, He is God,and He surely doesn't need us for anything.
So why did He create us?

What does the Bible say about why we are here?
This question that can be answered by looking at how the Bible explains our existence. It begins in chapter1 of Genesis, where we can read that after each step of creation, God "saw that it was good." Relating to Scripture, after He finished creating heavens and earth, the plant life and all the animals, He created man: "So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them (Genesis 1:27).
Now we know what He did, but this still doesn't explain WHY He did it. If we read on we will see that He spoke well of the male and female and He showed His delight by entrusting them with His creation:
"And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth..."
A part of His blessing was gaving us responsibility over the earth and its other life forms:
"and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so" (Genesis 1:28-30).
These were not the only blessings, we got more through Virgin Mary in Medjugorje ( http://www.medjugorjemap.com ) for example.
The end of Genesis Chapter 1, let us know how He felt about his finished creation:
"And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good." (Genesis 1:31).
So let`s try it again:Why do we exist? We were created by god because it pleased Him to do it. This message is constant throughout the pages of Scripture. Tersely said by the Apostle John:
"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."
The message that we were created for His pleasure is more than clear. Moreover, the Apostle Paul wrote in Colossians 1:16:
"For by Him were all things created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones or dominions or principalities or powers: all things were created by Him and for Him."

If we approve that all this is true, the next question is "what do we, you and I do about it?"
How someone please such a huge, infinite God? We can find some answers also in the Bible. One is for sure, the truth that none of us is here by accident. We were planned and wanted by our God.
