Bible Question:
why did God make man in the first place? When you go thru all the details of the creation it never specifically mentions why he created man. |
Bible Answer: Hi, Tom... Welcome to the forum! "The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever" (Deuteronomy 29:29a) Why questions are always a lot more difficult than what, who, when where, and how questions. As you noted in the creation account, God does not give us any why answers. There are a number of possible reasons for this omission; perhaps the answer would be something that we would not be able to understand or perhaps it is simply none of our business. We do know, however, that all that God has done and preordained is for His ultimate glory (1 Chronicles 29:11; Isaiah 43:6-7, 21; Colossians 1:16). In Him, Doc |
