INQUIRER: What is the objective of God in creating us?

BRO. ELI F. SORIANO (EFS): First and foremost, God's objective in creating us is a simple thing - Why did we make a chair? To sit on. Why was the table made? To put things on top of it. If we study reasoning, there is a reason why we made something. There is nothing we made that is useless. Even stuffed toys and rag dolls have use, they are for children's amusement. Right? I mean, grass has its worth - food for carabaos, goats, cows and others. Rice is food for man and chickens. What is our purpose? In Ephesians 2:10 -

BRO. DANIEL S. RAZON (DSR): "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."

EFS: "...we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." So, we were created by God to do good. The reason why we live on earth is for us to do good works ordained by God,
to follow His commandments. Let us read Ecclesiastes 12:13 -

DSR: "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."

EFS: "...Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man." Meaning, man has a duty, we have responsibilities before God. To follow God, let us do what is good to God and to our fellowman, that is the primary reason why we are created by God in this world. And if we are able to do that, God will bring us to heaven, in a better home than what we have here on earth. And we will have everlasting life if we do what God wants us to do. Listen to I John 2:25 -

DSR: "And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life."

EFS: God has an incentive. He has a promise made to those who follow Him.
The Bible says - "...this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life." How can we attain eternal life? If we follow His commandments, we will do good before God. But if we do evil, we will do anything we want to do, we will do our own will, we will not be worthy of eternal life. God rewards man according to his deeds while he lives on earth. And the reason why we are made by God, to do the good He has taught us. It has a reward, brother. It has a reward - everlasting life, and we will be worthy in the world to come. That is it.
