What were we created for?

This short message was shared as part of the offering exhortation in church last Sunday:

What were we created for?

I believe that God created us for 3 main reasons:

1. To give Him pleasure

Remember the song "Thou art worthy, thou art worthy O Lord. For thou hast created, hast all things created, thou hast created all things. And for thy pleasure they were created, thou art worthy O Lord"

Col 1:16 "For by Him all things were created...in heaven and on the earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him"

2. For good works

Eph 2:10 "For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them"

3. For true righteousness and holiness

Eph 4:24 "That you put on the new man which was created according to God in true righteousness and holiness"
