“And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. Then the LORD God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?” Genesis 3:8-9
Have you ever wondered why
you are here? Why God created you? Was
it to satisfy a hidden need in Him? Was
it because God was bored just hanging around forever in empty space doing
nothing. Maybe it was because He was
just curious and wanted to know what would happen if He created people and put
them on a planet in the middle of nowhere.
But, why are you here? Simply put, you are created to fellowship with
God
The Bible does specifically
say why God created us.
Rev. 4:11 says, "You are
worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honour and power, for you
created all things, and by your will they were created and have their
being."

• You must accept Jesus as
your Lord and Saviour (1 Cor. 1:9)

With God there are no gray areas or shadows. In other word you must live a holy
life.
• His Word must be in us, we
cannot have fellowship with God if His Word is not in us.
