What is the purpose of our existence? And why is one person created this way and another in a different way? In general, why did God create the world?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Answer:<\/p>\n<p>God created us because of His own love and His own will\u2014so that He would delight in being with us, and that we would delight in being with Him.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Revelation 4:11<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorthy are you, our Lord and God,<\/p>\n<p>to receive glory and honor and power,<\/p>\n<p>for you created all things,<\/p>\n<p>and by your will they existed and were created.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Our creation is a great advantage to us, because there is no benefit in not existing. Imagine you did not exist\u2014or none of us existed. What benefit would that bring?<\/p>\n<p>But if we exist and we are given eternal life and joy, then that is a great blessing!<\/p>\n<p>And God Himself has promised us eternal life through His Son, Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>John 3:16<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son,<\/p>\n<p>that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>However, if a person refuses life\u2014if he does not want life at all\u2014then the only path that leads to loss is rejecting Jesus.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>1 John 5:12<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Second Question: Why is one person created this way and another differently?<\/p>\n<p>The simple answer:<\/p>\n<p>Because that is what pleased God, so that we would be different from one another.<\/p>\n<p>(He did not desire that we all look identical like ants.)<\/p>\n<p>Beyond that, we cannot question Him further.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Romans 9:20\u201321<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut who are you, O man, to answer back to God?<\/p>\n<p>Will what is molded say to its molder, \u2018Why have you made me like this?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Has the potter no right over the clay,<\/p>\n<p>to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use<\/p>\n<p>and another for dishonorable use?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Regardless of how we were created, our responsibility is to seek eternal life. And it is important to understand that God shows no favoritism\u2014no one is valued more than another.<\/p>\n<p>Before Him, we are all equal:<\/p>\n<p>not judged by appearance, or height, or age, or gender.<\/p>\n<p>We are all equally loved and equally measured by His standard.<\/p>\n<p>Do you have eternal life within you?<\/p>\n<p>Remember: eternal life is found in one Person only\u2014Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n<p>If you have not yet received Him and you need help, you may contact us through our numbers below.<\/p>\n<p>May the Lord bless you.<\/p>\n<p>To receive daily teachings via WHATSAPP<\/p>\n<p>, join our channel:<\/p>\n<p>(Original link preserved)<\/p>\n<p>Please share this message with others.<\/p>\n<p>For Prayer \/ Counseling \/ Questions (WhatsApp):<\/p>\n<p>Write in the comment box below or call:<\/p>\n<p>+255 789 001 312<\/p>\n<p>+255 693 036 618<\/p>\n<div class='share-to-whatsapp-wrapper'><div class='share-on-whsp'>Share on: <\/div><a data-text='Why Did God Create Us?' data-link='https:\/\/wingulamashahidi.org\/en\/2024\/02\/28\/61857\/' class='whatsapp-button whatsapp-share'>WhatsApp<\/a><div class='clear '><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question: Why did God create us?
