Title: All things were created by him and for him
What on earth are we here for if we don’t know what we are here for?
There has got to be some reason for the universe and for all living beings, and this raison d'être will actually set us free from the quagmire and the tangled web of self-centered existence because behind this purpose is the truth!
Graciously, there is only one underlying principle for all things, including those that could not be seen, and that is ‘the pleasure of the Creator.’ With this perspective two facts become obvious: that God created us and saved us through Jesus, the Christ, both things we cannot do for ourselves.
But isn’t God being selfish here? Not at all; on the contrary He is setting the path to the fountain of joy, the pleasure of the good land, the peace of fulfilled love, all of which to be found by the redeemed, by walking a path with the Son of his love, a life continually yielding fruit of every good work in the name and for the glory of God.
