    The first thing that strikes us is the repetition of the plural pronouns in reference to God: “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness” (1:26). Jewish scholars usually explain this as God talking to the angels. But Scripture is clear that God did not take counsel with the angels when He created man (Isa. 40:12-26; 44:24), and beside...

    “Let them rule” (1:26) is the consequence of “Let Us make man in Our image.” God gave the right of dominion over all living things to man. The command to subdue it (1:28) implies that there was work involved, even in the perfect setting of the Garden, to bring the creation under man’s rightful dominion. This dominion involves a stewardship of the e...

    “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it” (1:28). This is both God’s pronouncement of blessing as well as His delegation of responsibility. The blessing of sharing in God’s creative process by producing offspring was given to other living things besides man (1:22, 24-25). But man alone was commanded not only to fill the earth, b...

    A man died and they put on his tombstone: “He came, stayed a while, and left.” Sad epitaph! But what if it had said, “He came, stayed a while, got married, worked at his job, raised a family, and left”? Throw in, “He became a success in his career and made a pile of money.” It’s still missing the purpose for which God created us. God made us indivi...

  3. Mar 2, 2012 · The simple answer given in the Bible is that God created humans, as well as the rest of creation, by His will and for His glory. BY HIS WILL. Revelation 4:11 declares: “You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for you created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created” (emp. added).

  4. God created us because He wanted us. Our lives are not some meaningless creation made by a disinterested Creator. But God did not need us. Though a perhaps heart-warming sentiment, He did not create mankind because He found Himself lonely.

  5. Jun 3, 2015 · Answer: Perhaps the best place to find a “reason” that God created us is in the first chapters of Genesis. Genesis 1:26 tells us that we were made in God’s image. We have the ability to create. We have a physical nature, but also a spiritual one. We have sovereignty within our own sphere.
