What the Bible says

For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So that men are without excuse.
Romans chapter 1 verse 20


The 1st Creation

Let’s start at the beginning, when God made the universe and the world that we live in.

Glory

God made the universe for his glory – to show how good he is. Its beauty, grandeur and diversity all demonstrate how amazing God is – his creativity, his power, his imagination. Take in the view from a mountain top, peer out into the horizon from the shore of a beach or gaze up in the evening at the countless stars overhead. It all shows us the glory of God who made it.

Love

And God made us to be in a loving relationship with him. Because God is love himself, he created us in his image - to love him and be loved by him in the world that he has made. That is our purpose in life and that's why Jesus said that the most important command in the Bible is to “love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind soul and strength”, for we were made to love God.

But the world that we live in does not seem to fit with this picture, does it? Something seems to have gone very, very wrong. Read on.
