Humanity Was Created For God’s Glory

“Then God said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over [g]all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth…'”

“So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them…” (Genesis 1:26-28).

Humanity was created with a Spiritual Purpose: “God, Jesus Christ, created human beings to worship and honor God, the Father. [We are called] to dedicate all personal capabilities, influence, and talents to Him as a sacred trust.”

“…life is not a random, mechanical process but a purposeful design, and encourages viewing oneself as God’s workmanship.” 

“Everyone who is called by My name,
Whom I have created for My glory;
I have formed him, yes, I have made him.” (Isaiah 43:7).

Isaiah 43:7 emphasizes that we are:

  • Created for God’s Glory: Humans are designed to reflect God’s glory in all aspects of life.
  • A Sacred Trust: Life, talents, and capabilities are entrusted by God and should be used to impart His grace to others.
  • Individual Ownership: God calls His people by name, and as “new creatures,” [we] are set apart for Him.
  • Purposeful Formation: Being “formed” by God means each individual has a Divine purpose, countering the idea of chance or fate.
  • Transformation of Character: The process of being God’s people involves trials that refine character and remove dross

Jesus developed a Righteous Character through constant prayer and faithful obedience to God, the Father. From His example and through Jesus’ Divine Strength, the Holy Spirit empowers us to live as righteous overcomers.

Lord God, we praise your Holy Name and give You the honor and reverence that You  deserve. We ask for wisdom, discernment, and the strength to overcome our desires and the temptations designed to separate us from You. Please reveal anything in our lives that is against Your will and plans. In faith, we ask this prayer in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

It takes faith, trust, courage, and perseverance to serve God in today's unstable world. Yet, we are never alone. Pray every day and pray often. Study the Bible. The Scriptures are a Love Letter from God to those who accept Jesus as their personal Savior. You will receive comfort, knowledge, and wisdom from the Holy Spirit.
