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. The answer is right in the book of Genesis 1:27, 28: "God created male and female. Further, God blessed them and said, be fruitful, become many and fill the earth, and subdue it and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth." Adam and Eve were created perfect with the opportunity to have everlasting life. However, using free will given to them by God, they decided that they would not listen to their creator, but instead would listen to someone else. This one disobedient act catapulted the human race into sin and death. According to the Bible, God continues to work out his purpose to have humans return to perfection, with the hope of everlasting life. The answers are all inside the Bible. It simply takes time to examine the Bible and have your questions answered. If you have more questions, I would be glad to discuss this further. Hope this helps. Thx. |
