In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth...
Have you tried doing something with no purpose at all?
And yes, this question ranges from "Why-do-you-live?" to "Why-do-you-even-blink?".
Think...
Kindly think again...
Got an answer now?
Right, have thought about it too. Every single thing we do has a purpose, no matter how insignificant we think it is.
Therefore, if human beings do not do anything without any reason, how much more if it's God?
Why do you think did He create the heavens and the earth?
But wait... Before you answer me, let me remind you that after He created the heavens and the earth, so much more marvelous creations were further made.
But do you know what was the last thing that He created?
Let me bring you to Genesis 1:26... "And God said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of heaven and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth."
Yes, you read it right. It was MAN.
Aside from being the last creation, man was God's only creation which was not created through His mouth, but gently, passionately, perfectly, and wonderfully made through His hands and lived through His breath; the only creation which bears His image and His likeness.
Do you feel special now? Well, it is not my speaking. It is God's in His Word.
But wait, just to add up to the gladness of your heart, kindly enjoy Genesis 2:2..."And on the seventh day God finished His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done."
Yes... After He made man, God finally rested. One, especially an artist, can only rest after he has already accomplished something that satisfies him, a masterpiece.
Wow! What a revelation! He rested after He made us! We made God rest! We made God satisfied! We are His rest, His satisfaction.
But if we are God's satisfaction, why did He not create us right in the beginning? If He did so, He should have rested on the second day.
Do you know why?
Just consider these facts.
If God has created us in the beginning, right at the outset, where then would we live? What would we eat? What would we drink?
God made man on the sixth day so that man would be able to enjoy all His beautiful creations...
God already prepared everything for man...
So that man could enjoy and live the life that He intended for man...
So do you know now why did God create the heavens and the earth?
Yes... You're right.
GOD created the heavens and the earth for MAN.
HE created the heavens and the earth for US.
PRAISE THE LORD JESUS!
