Why did God Create me?

God’s intention for every person He creates is for each person to enjoy God for all eternity. That’s His highest intention for them. That’s His highest purpose for them.
Enjoying God for eternity is the same thing as eternal life. God tells us so in John 17:3 where Jesus is doing the speaking:
“And this is eternal life; that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.” (Jesus is speaking of God the Father when he says “the only true God”)
So many around the world are not hearing what God wants communicated to people about “eternal life” or “everlasting life” (it means the same thing).
Again Jesus speaking in John 3:16:
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
Once again, Jesus tells us in John 10:10:
“I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
Dear reader, don’t misunderstand what “life” and “eternal life” IS. It isn’t about living forever. It is about forever enjoying God. There’s a huge difference!
Eternity is...will be...about enjoying God, for those who are willing to pay the price to receive eternal life. Each of us were created with that solitary purpose in God’s mind: To receive eternal life -- to enjoy God.
And for most, this life we live right now on planet earth is our testing ground to determine whether we will be qualified to enjoy eternal life after we die, or experience eternal death. We all live forever. It’s just a matter of whether we spend forever enjoying God, or not enjoying God. God gives us a choice in the matter.
Here becomes the crucial test of how it will be determined as to whether we will spend eternal life enjoying God through eternity…or eternal death unable to enjoy God through eternity:
“He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” (John 3:36)
Experiencing eternal life knowing God through eternity brings with it eternal increasing love and increasing joy. If you have ever had very strong feelings of love for someone, magnify that feeling a billion times a hundred billion times trillions, and that will give you a good idea of what it will be like through eternity enjoying God. Having feelings of love for God will know no end. Those feelings of love will only keep increasing…for all eternity, as will our comprehension of just how much God loves US keeps increasing!
As our love keeps increasing for God and as our comprehension of God’s love for us keeps increasing, so will our joy keep increasing…as God’s joy will keep increasing when He thinks of us, and spends time with us.
Before a person is created by God and given a chance to be born on this planet…the love and the joy God has intended for that person throughout eternity is at the forefront of God’s mind.
Yet because God is all knowing, He also knows whether that person will eventually choose eternal life…or reject it.
What will be the determining factor as to whether this person will experience eternal life enjoying God forever…or NOT enjoying God forever? The determining factor will be what that person chooses to BELIEVE and how that person RESPONDS to the words of Jesus Christ found in the Holy Bible.
For a person will find in the New Testament Bible that Jesus Christ is none OTHER than one of the three persons of the eternal triune Godhead. It is clearly stated in the New Testament Bible that all things were created by Jesus Christ, for Jesus Christ, and through Jesus Christ. (You can read about this in the first chapter of the Book of Colossians, especially from verses 15-19. If you’ve never heard, God the Father and God the Holy Spirit are the other two persons of the eternal triune Godhead).
Many people have a difficult time believing that God’s primary purpose for them throughout eternity is to enjoy God. They conclude: “Well, if that was God’s purpose for creating me and creating others, WHY is there so much pain and sorrow in my life? Why are so many little children suffering on this planet? Why is life so miserable and hard and unfair?"
First off, this life is a TEST – a testing ground. Some people need to be tested greater than others. In fact, only until some people have experienced tremendous amounts of either physical pain and/or emotional pain do they make a clear, determined decision to follow the way of Jesus Christ…or clearly reject following Him.
Secondly, the Bible clearly tells us that Satan has been allowed by God to have great influence over this planet at the present time. Between the deadly effects of sin since the time of Adam and Eve and Satan’s demons seeking to control the souls of men so they will choose to reject eternal life enjoying God…this life is truly not easy for anyone.
Yet the Bible lets us also know that those who are suffering greatly as Christians will be rewarded for it in eternity, because God has decreed that the sufferings of those who are following after Jesus Christ will not be WASTED sufferings at all!
Elementary in all this is the fact that Satan and the demons who serve him know full well they will never have an opportunity to experience eternal life enjoying God ever again as they once were able to do. And because of this, their love for God has turned to dark hatred for God, and that hatred is expressed in doing everything in their power to try to persuade humans to reject the way of Jesus Christ and the Truth He stands for. Simply stated: Because Satan and the demons can’t enjoy eternal life knowing God…they don’t want anyone else doing so either.
To make this life even more challenging, for those who choose to follow after Jesus Christ, these become the ones Satan and his demons hate the MOST. Followers of Jesus Christ are vessels God the Holy Spirit delights to use the most to tell others about the goodness of Jesus Christ and WHY God the Father sent Jesus to earth to die on the cross for the sins of humanity. (Sin is rebellion against God, in case you’ve never heard).
Thus for Christians, and for those who will become Christians…this life is about being TESTED and it is about SUFFERING. Satan launches attacks against them to hinder them in every way possible from being the most effective vessels they are capable of being for the cause of Jesus Christ - God the Father - God the Holy Spirit.
We’re at war, dear reader, as if you weren’t already aware. We’re at war for the souls of mankind. The greatest of all warriors came from heaven to Earth to do battle against the demonic spirits of darkness – spirits of eternal death. Whatever your thoughts at the present are of Jesus Christ, my hope is that you remember THIS about Him. He came from His throne in heaven to engage with the spirits of darkness to rescue YOU from eternal death…so you might enjoy eternal life with Him…enjoying God, and God enjoying you.
His greatest demonstration of love-heroism was to die for us in battle some 2,000 years ago on the Cross.
One of His greatest demonstrations of love-faithfulness will be when He comes back to Earth to rescue those who are eagerly awaiting His return. After that happens, all hell is going to break loose on this planet to deal with and eradicate evil.
If you desire to enjoy God through eternity, choose to follow after Jesus Christ, dear reader, and never STOP following after Him. God created you with that purpose in mind…but He loves you enough to grant you the power to choose what eternity will hold in store for you.
