Why did God create people? And what is people's purpose in existing and living? God revealed it in the Bible.
Revelation 4:11 KJV
[11] Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
You were not created for your own pleasure, but for God's pleasure. How horrible that must sound to the ears of unsaved people!
What gives God pleasure? The Bible reveals several things, but one of them is the well-being of His people, their prosperity.
Psalm 35:27 KJV
[27] Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
"by His merciful act, He has included us as part of His good pleasure." (source unknown)
