Why God Created Human Beings
God created the first set of human beings. First, He created man from the dust of the earth. God then breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living being. God called him Adam.
God saw that it was not good for the man to be alone, therefore, He made a helper for him. The lord caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam and He removed one of the ribs and closed it up with flesh, God made a woman out of the rib and brought her to Adam. When Adam saw her, he was happy and said, “This is now the bone of my bone, and the flesh of my flesh, she shall be called woman because she was taken out of man”. Adam gave the name Eve to the woman because she was the mother of all living.
God created human beings in order to
praise Him,
know Him,
worship Him,
serve Him,
show forth His glory,
glorify Him
adore Him
continue in His creation activities.
