God created us because he wanted to have a relationship with us. So I guess he did want someone to walk and talk with him like Carri said. The entire Bible tells us story after story about how God relates to his people.
And as Chelsea said, God created us very special. All of us are special because we are made in God’s image. Being created in God’s image is as special as it gets.
What does it mean to be created in God’s image? Does it mean we look like him? No, God is invisible. Jesus said, “God is spirit. So the people who worship him must worship in spirit and truth” (John 4:24). Just because God is invisible does not mean he is not real. Have you ever seen electricity? All the lights in your house shine because electricity is real, but invisible.
Like God, you have a spirit, and that spirit lives inside your body. When you believe in the Lord Jesus as your savior, God sends the Holy Spirit to live inside of you. God’s Spirit will show your spirit how to worship God. In this way, the image of God in you will be complete. God created us so that we could worship him.
God also made us in order to have someone take care of his creation. But before Adam sinned, God told him to take care of the garden in a beautiful place called Eden. God wanted people created in his image to “rule over all the earth” in perfect harmony with his will, but sin messed things up.
Think About This: God created all the animals and plants, but only people are created in his image.
Memorize This Truth: “So God created humans in his own image. He created them to be like himself. He created them male and female” (Genesis 1:27).
