What is JESUS’ purpose for creating us?


At some point in our lives, we ask this question, what is JESUS’ purpose for creating me? Why am I here on earth? These questions can only be answered meaningfully if we shift our focus on JESUS and allow the truths found in the Bible to guide us as we address these important questions of life.

JESUS’ main purpose for creating us is found in Isaiah 43:7 which says, “They are my own people, I created them to bring me glory.” What is glory then? The Merriam Webster dictionary defines glory as heavenly happiness. In other words, JESUS created us to make Him happy.

So how can we make the LORD JESUS happy or glorify Him? Matthew 5:16 suggests, “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” We can glorify CHRIST by being rooted in Him and by being good examples to others. As believers, we can glorify CHRIST first with our faith, then with our words and last our deeds.

Glorifying CHRIST with our faith
Hebrews 11:6 says, “For without faith, it is impossible to please GOD.” So we can glorify CHRIST first with our faith or by believing that He exists and He is a rewarder of those who earnestly seek Him. Having faith and trusting in CHRIST is the first step to glorifying CHRIST. By having faith, we should make sure that we are trusting in Him fully like a loving Father to us. By having faith, we can be sure that we have a loving Father who lavishes us with His love and that He wants us to love Him too as JESUS said in Hosea 6:6 that He wants love and not burnt offerings. JESUS wants to have a faithful and loving relationship with us. When we love JESUS and have a stable loving and faithful relationship with Him, He is glorified.

Glorifying CHRIST with our words
We should make sure that before we start our day every day praises and thanksgiving to the LORD come out of our mouth. CHRIST is glorified when we continually worship, praise and give Him thanks for the gift of life and salvation and all the good things He has done for us. Psalms 100:2&4 says, “Worship the LORD with joy; come before Him with happy songs. Enter the temple gates with thanksgiving; go into its courts with praise. Give thanks to Him and praise Him.”  Also, we should guard our tongues. We should see to it that every word we say to others encourages and lifts them up and do not hurt or insult them.

Glorifying CHRIST with our deeds
We should make sure that in everything we do; whether we eat or drink we do it to glorify CHRIST (1 Corinthians 10:31). We should always bear in mind that we do every good deed with great love no matter how small it is. The first deed that we should do that will glorify CHRIST and should be done with love is to share the gospel of salvation to others especially unbelievers so that they will be in heaven with us too. Next is we should always make ourselves available to others. We should always offer a helping hand and always willing to share our resources like food, clothing, money, and home with others. We should always be kind, honest, generous, helpful, thoughtful, and forgiving. In doing these, they can testify our goodness and love to them as Christians and will glorify the GOD that we worship, JESUS.

To be brief, JESUS’ purpose for creating us is to give Him glory. We can glorify Him by having faith in Him, having a faithful and loving relationship with Him, praising and giving thanks to Him and by loving others by sharing them the gospel and doing good deeds to them.  God bless dear reader I hope this piece of writing helps you understand JESUS’ purpose for creating us and your purpose for living. I love you with the love of JESUS.

What GOD likes and dislikes

While I was listening to the song "You are Holy (Prince of Peace)" by Michael W. Smith last month, I came across with the lyrics that says "You're the great I am". Upon hearing it, I forgot that the LORD is the Great "I AM" (Exodus 3:14) and I started doubting. But the LORD reminded me that it's Him and that I should not doubt Him because He dislikes a doubtful servant. So, to help you increase your knowledge of Him and know how to love Him, let me tell you the things that He likes and dislikes. Listed below are the things He likes and dislikes. 8 Things GOD likes 1. He likes us. It is said in John 3:16 that GOD loves the world. It means He loves or like us because we are His creations. He gave us His own breath for us to live. 2. He likes a cheerful giver. It is written in second 2 Corinthians 9:7 that GOD loves a cheerful giver. Therefore we should freely give and share whatever we have to our brothers and sisters that are ...

Seven best godly ways to overcome loneliness and depression

Have you experienced being lonely and depressed? That feeling when you wake up in the morning and you feel lonely or when sadness would just creep in without reason? Or that feeling when you know you would be fine but it didn't feel like it? You know that your family loves you but still, you feel unloved? Or that feeling of sadness when you lose your loved one and you feel empty? I call that loneliness. And, now that I have a relationship with CHRIST, I can define loneliness or depression as homesickness for GOD, a longing for someone trustworthy who can make us completely happy. Loneliness and depression are also the results of sin. When I sin, I automatically feel lonely and I feel GOD'S spirit leave me and I feel empty no matter how I try to pacify myself. I have discovered that there really is a void in our hearts that needs to be filled by GOD'S spirit alone. When you are lonely it means you have sinned or is living in sin resulting in a lack of GOD'S pres...

How did JESUS become man

Hi there my dear reader! I am back. How are you? I hope all is well with you. As an effort resulting from my deep appreciation for JESUS, I'd like to share this article with you about His birth in Bethlehem 2,000 years ago. Please read on. In the Book of Isaiah 9:6, it was predicted that GOD will be born of a virgin to save the world from sin in the name of Immanuel or JESUS. Matthew 1:23-25 say this, "Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son,and they will call him Immanuel, which means `God is with us.'" When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded and took Mary as his wife. But he did not have sexual relations with her until her son was born. And Joseph named JESUS." After 42 generations from Abraham to David and to Joseph (the husband of Mary), JESUS, the Messiah, our LORD was born in the person of Immanuel. His earthly mother named Mary was informed by angel Gabriel that she will give birth to a son named JESUS wh...
