Why Did God Create People?
. . . Just as sin entered the world
through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came
to all men, because all sinned. Romans 5:12
Have you ever wondered where all the people on Earth came from?
God made them all! After God made the beautiful Earth, He made one
man. He made that man out of the dust of the Earth and breathed
life into him. God called that man Adam. Later, God caused Adam
to sleep and took a rib from his side to make the first woman. God
gave Adam this woman, Eve, to be his wife. Adam and Eve lived in
the beautiful garden that God made.
Soon Adam and Eve had many children. When the children grew up,
they had children. Soon there were many people on the Earth. Today
there are so many people it is hard to count them all!
God did not create people because He was lonely. He made us so
that we could love Him and praise Him. The Bible says, "Great
is the Lord, and most worthy of praise . . ." (Psalm 48:1).
God wants people to praise Him because He is great and good.
When you see all that God has made, you can say, "How great
God is!" You can praise Him when you pray. Tell Him that you
love Him and that you need Him. You can never praise God enough.
