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.

Is JESUS our GOD?

Have you ever asked yourself who JESUS is? And, have you ever wondered if He is our GOD?  If your answer is yes, then this article is for you. By the way, I used to believe that the LORD JESUS is just the Son of GOD and not GOD Himself. But, after attending some church services in a Christian Pentecostal church in college, I started to question who the real GOD is and what is His Name. Fortunately, last night that question was answered and revealed to me by the LORD JESUS. As I was reading an article about baby JESUS on the Bible app for kids which is called Superbook, I ran across a verse found in 1 Corinthians 12:3 which says tbis, "So I want you to know that no one speaking by the Spirit of God will curse JESUS, and no one can say JESUS is LORD, except by the HOLY SPIRIT." We can learn from this Bible verse that JESUS is our One and Only True Living GOD. And, no one can confess that He is GOD except when the person is guided by the Holy Spirit. On the other han...

What is JESUS’ will for us?

I spent my life looking for answers on what is JESUS’ will for me and what should I do with my life. I yearn for a happy, content and fulfilled life and I have this deep longing inside me for a better purpose. Until one night, while I was praying JESUS revealed to me His will. He told me that His will is to save us because He loves us so much. Check this verse in  1 Timothy 2:3-4 which say, “This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” Since JESUS’ ultimate will is to save us, He wants us to receive His gift of salvation. We first have to believe that He died on the cross to save us from hell and sin. We should as well make a firm decision to turn away from sin and obey Him. Then we should establish a loving and faithful relationship with Him above others. Take note of this verse in Matthew 22:37-38 which say, “ And he said to him,   “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with a...
