THE PURPOSE OF GOD FOR CREATING MAN
“Then God said, let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that moves along the ground”. Genesis 1:26
“The people I formed for myself that they may proclaim my praise”. Isaiah 43:21
…. For I have created him for my glory. I have formed him; yea, I have made him”. Isaiah 43:7 KJV
These passages from the scripture show that you are created to;
i. Worship God
ii. Represent God
iii. Obey GodLet’s start from the first one
i. CREATED TO WORSHIP GOD:The book of Isaiah 43:7 and 21 say respectively that you are created to proclaim the praise of God and that you are also created for the glory of God. It is through worship that man can give glory to God. Man can also proclaim the praises of God through worship.Dear reader, there is no other creature that can do this effectively than you – man. That is why you are precious in God’s sight and honoured by Him. Isaiah 43:4The book of Romans 12:1-2 tells us how to truly worship God.“…. Offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any linger to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will”.

The only way you can offer your body as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God (that will be your spiritual act of worship) is to conform no longer to the pattern of this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of your mind. You are God’s property. Whatever you do must give glory to God. Whatever you use your body for must be to the glory of God. Your mind dictates how you use your body. If your mind is not renewed you can not use your body for the glory of God. It simply means that you can not worship God. This is why your mind must be renewed. God must always be praised and worshiped by you (Corinthians 10:31 and Colossians 3:17).
Oh!It seems man is longer living his life to worship God.Every activity of man seems to be bringing “sadness” unto God.Why and what can be done to make man regain the purpose of his creation?
