There is a wonderful question in the Baltimore Catechism that I was taught to memorize as a child. It comes in the section “Why Was I Created,” and the question is, “Why did God make you.”
The response I learned was “God made me to know Him, to love Him, and to serve Him in this world, and to be happy with Him forever in heaven.”
“Why was I created” is a most profound question. How we answer it will determine if we live this life with a purpose or if we are blown about on the winds of cultural change.
Our wonderful Creator, the Omniscient, Omnipresent, All Powerful, Infinite Father wants us to know Him and love Him! While we are in this world He wants us to serve Him so that others are led to the salvation He has provided through His Son, Christ Jesus.
There is something every person must learn in this life if they are going to thrive and that is that “the world doesn’t exist to serve us.”
There is something every Christian must learn in this life if they are going to thrive and that is that “God doesn’t exist to serve us.” We exist to know, love, and serve Him.
