I was in the kitchen preparing for dinner when my son came to me with this question; Mom why did God create us?. I painted a picture in his mind about how weird it would be if a king built an empire and has to live in it all by himself. And another, a very wealthy farmer with a big farm with no animals or farmers to cultivate the land. I quickly clarified how we can't compare God to these two men and again; he should picture all God created in the first 5 days without caregivers.....man
God is Lord over all, and we are privileged to be His people. We can know Him. We can love Him. We can live with Him, talk with Him, and enjoy His presence. The delight of being a Christian is not in what God can do for us or give us, but in knowing Him as a person.
Preparing for heaven starts with turning from sin and seeking God's forgiveness through Christ. The next step is to get to know God better each day.
Bible study is the best way to know God better. Prayer and meditation is another way, of course, but the study of the Word is most basic. Through the word, we understand who God is and what He asks of us. Through prayer, we cultivate a an intimate relationship with our Creator and Lord. The life-changing truths of the Word and prayer work together to bring us closer to Him.
Now, here is the question. Do you have a relationship with God? Why do you worship God?
I'd like to read from you in the comment section.
Warm Regards

Teach your child in the way he should go, and when he is older he will not depart from it. Good job teaching them now, the more we share, teach them and let them see God in our life - the better it is for them. We leave a legacy of faith and walking in God for them to inherit.
