I will like to start by pointing out a similar question asked in the Bible by king David in psalm8:3-4 "When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
Back to the question why did God create us? God who created the heavens and earth with everything in it needed no human hands to serve him according to Acts17:24-25 "God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;"
He didn't make us inother not to be bored or lonely long before we were created he had company Gen1-26 makes us to know that he was with his son and the holyspirit " And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."
Despite not needing us God still chose to create us out of his love and even made us in his image that sounds nice right? jer31:3 "The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee." We were created because God loves us even before we were created.It might be difficult for some to believe but it's true God is love 1john4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
We were created to fulfil a plan by bringing people to eternal life through Jesus Christ for the ministry of reconciliation according to 2Cor5:19
To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
We are created for good works Eph2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.we shouldn't be involved in things that won't glorify God phil4-88 "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
What we shouldn't also forget is that we are part of the war between God and Satan by putting our faith in God we can win the battle Eph6:10-11 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Notwithstanding we shouldn't forget that since we've been created we have a choice.God doesn't necessarily need us but we need him. ~Forelarh
