Why did God Create People
Genesis tells us why. To have
man reflecting His image and having dominion over the earth under His
sovereignty. (Gen 1:26,28). The home
becomes an outpost of Gods rule. We are
to reflect His image, rule over creation, and to reproduce godly offspring.
Only man is created in Gods image.
With His personality, intelligence, and ability to know and relate to
God, man is able to reflect God-likeness in a limited way in righteousness and
holiness of truth, how we relate to each other individually and
corporately. Human life is valuable and
every person must be treated with respect.
God gave the right of dominion over all living things to man. This involves a stewardship of the earth and
its resources. When Satan got man to
obey him, then Satan became the ruler of the world. To regain control of all things we must
exercise dominion for Christ over Satan and his forces.
Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it. (Gen
1:28) Subdue the earth under God. Children are blessings from God. God made us to rule over His creation as
responsible stewards of the earth, and to rule over the ruler of this fallen
world by exercising the authority of Christ, our Head, through prayer.
