Ephesians 1-3

When the thought of God’s purpose for us comes to mind, you think of what God’s will is for us all. Throughout the bible you can read that we were put on this earth for the glory of God and strive to give Him glory. God created us all to fulfill his eternal plan and defeat Satan. God created us in His image and He has given us a choice of freedom. We can choose to give into the unearthly things of this world or give glory to the only Holy Spirit which is God. In

1. The Lord created the rest of His creation by His spoken word, but He made and formed man with His own hands. He breathed the breath of life into man.

The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.”, and he will be there in the end, Revelation 1:8 “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.”. God is also the creator of all thing and all powerful, Jeremiah 51:15 “He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding.”, and he knows of all things, Psalm 147:5 “Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.”, therefore, he deserves our worship and praise, Revelation 4:11 “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.”. The Bible teaches us about Humanity and how we came to be and our responsibilities, Genesis 1:26 “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.”, and ,as God’s creation, we should put complete faith and trust in him, Matthew 6:26 “Behold the fowls of the air: for they

First it is important to think about the idea behind creation. I strongly believe that God created us not for the fun of it but for a specific purpose or specific purposes. There might not be a specific answer to why exactly God created us but I believe he created us so that we can represent him in this world. In my computer class this semester, one of the important things I learnt is how a computer is built and functions. It is absolutely impossible for a computer to work without the motherboard since it represents the brain of the computer. This apply to us today as Christian in our relationship with God. Like the motherboard holds the computer together, so does God in our lives. He is our ultimate source and life. We exist because of him.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made” (John 1:1-3).

The concept of God: Colossians 1:15-20 have mentioned that Jesus Christ, a firstborn of all creation is not only a God himself but the head of the head of everything. He is the supreme of the supreme and everything has been created by him. He is the one who holds everything together and reconciled everything to make a peace and harmonies in earth and in heaven.

God created everything and everyone, and he continues to live amongst us all. In the beginning God created the world, and us to live as an example of Him, and to continue life showing others His grace. One can only portray God like characteristics if they are allowing Him to live inside their heart. Everyone will fall short because the only perfect person is no longer walking this earth. It is important to continue with strong God like characteristics to allow others to see the grace that God shed.

Most religions do not believe life after death. Most of them believe in incarnation. But as a Christian, I believe they is heaven and hell. If you are living right with God, your soul goes back to heaven but if not, you go hell. As the bible says in Revelation 20:10 “And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet [are], and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever” (King James Bible, 2016, p.6).

A question that has gnawed at my soul since before I can remember is what makes us, and why are we here. Our universe exists to challenge us. It gives us a feeling of emptiness in our stomach when we realize the vast, vastness of it is incomprehensible. That most of the galaxy in which we reside can never be seen or felt by the human species. It makes us question our existence, the idea that we came from nothing exists beyond the realm of our imagination. However, the idea that we came from something only leaves us with more questions.

For it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or

I believe God is our creator and created everything that we see today in our existence. All man is created in His image.

We deserve to pay for our own sin. The problem is, the payment is death. So that we would not have to die separated from God, out of his love for us, Jesus Christ died in our place. On the cross, Jesus took all of our sin on himself and completely, fully paid for it. For Christ also died for sins...the just for the unjust, so that he might bring us to God....he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. Because of Jesus' death on the cross, our sin doesn't have to separate us from God any longer. Accepting Jesus means believing that Jesus is the Son of God, who he claimed to be, then inviting him to guide and direct our lives.

An additional philosophical issue that I believe mostly everyone has, myself included, pondered is the purpose of life. Why are we here on

A question, also referred to as an inquiry or a query, can be defined as a spoken or insinuated request for information, and the observant passerby can find such requests everywhere. Even the person who appears to have everything put together finds themselves forced to daily ask hundreds of questions such as “What should I wear today?” “How much longer can I sleep in and still make it to work on time?” and “Is this investment worth its cost?” Below these rather trivial surface questions, however, drift deeper thoughts; thoughts that make the atheistic mind shudder and hastily shove them away, and render the naturalist ashamed of his inability to answer them adequately. Indeed, nothing on earth can ever answer them fully, for only the God who holds the answers to everything can satisfy our curiosity and longing for identity. Three questions can adequately summarize this tumultuous sea of questions – Who am I? Why am I here? And where am I going? Beneath layers of confidence and intelligent replies, each individual has these three question rooted inside them, and these pesky words send us all on a quest for answers that we stumble blindly. The world can attempt to provide an answer for weary wanderers, but it will always fall massively short next to the rich and marvelous answer that our Lord provides for all who seek an answer.

During the event of creation we see that God is the creator of all things and the Lord of all things. We are to give Him praise for His creation of the world and human beings (Revelation 4:11). He created His Son as a visible image of Him who is the invisible image. He created the heavens and the earth, and shows his authority over evil on earth. He does not stop evil, but He clears a path for us to avoid and get away from evil. He sent His Son to reconcile us back to God (Colossians 1:16-20). This passage shows that God is the creator of all things and has power over everything that has been created. He created everything from nothing that is visible. Christ sustains the world and without Him there would be complete chaos.
