God did not create the world because He was lonely or bored, He didn't do it because He needs us or wants all people to be a part of His family.

Let me get this straight: God created the world to "make His glory known," right? To whom? Obviosuly, to mankind. In the physical Creation, God cannot be known to lifeless galaxies and stars, planets and moons, or to beasts and birds, but only to Man.

In other words, God created us to know of Him and to be in awe of Him. Without us, God's greatenss is not known, because there is no other physical being capable of that.

Because we exist means that God willed it. And He willed it, because he wanted us to be aware of Him so we would glofiy Him. But want proceeds from a desire or a need to have or get.

So, if we were not needed, and not wanted, why would God will us into this world? To glorify Him? Well, then He needed someone to do that. Without someone to glotrify Him God can only glorify Himself. By creating us, it is obvious he didn't want that.

Scripture tells us He made us for His good pleasure, not for ours and that is the point.

God has perfect fellowship and love within the Trinity . He made us to manifest His glory and to enjoy Him .Too many people today are convinced that it is man that is the center of creation ,not God.
