So let's discuss something.
Why did God make us?
I'm not asking what our purpose is, or out of what material we were made, but why we were made. What was God thinking when He dropped us on this big rock 93 million miles away from a flaming-hot lightbulb in the sky?

God didn't create us because he needs us or for company. He wasn't lonely and wanted attention or anyone to notice his greatness.
Throughout the gospels, Jesus Christ says several times that he does everything that pleases God. Another way to put it is that he pleases God completely with his life, his will, and his actions. So God gets everything He needs out of his relationship with Christ.
I have heard it said by theologians that the trinity is complete because it provides love and fulfillment unto itself, that it is completely self-sufficient. I understand that that is a little hard to imagine or gather; I tend to just rest on the fact that God finds everything He needs within Himself, as some postmodernists like to say. He finds God.
So I hereby eliminate the possibility that God created man out of a need for man.
Yet Genesis says that when He created us, He saw that it was good. Thus, He was doing something out of desire, out of pleasure, out of joy... Not something to add anything unto Himself, but moreso an expression of Himself.
I can only conclude that He made us because He saw that we were good, and so that we can see that He is good.
Mostly the second one.
Preach it!!
So why is this important?
