How and why did God create us?

_________________________________________________

God created us male and female in his own image to know him, to love him, to live with him, and to glorify him.  And it is right that we who were created by God should live to his glory.
 

 27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
     male and female he created them.

28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and
increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it.”
      (Genesis 1:27,28)

Prayer:

Maker of All, let us not lose sight that we, and every human being you have made, are created in your image.  Never let
us doubt this about ourselves. Never let us doubt this about any other man or woman, for to do so denies you the glory
that is due to your name. Your likeness glimpsed in us
 testifies that we belong to you, body and soul.  Amen
