Why Did God Create People?

. . . Just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned. Romans 5:12

Have you ever wondered where all the people on Earth came from? God made them all! After God made the beautiful Earth, He made one man. He made that man out of the dust of the Earth and breathed life into him. God called that man Adam. Later, God caused Adam to sleep and took a rib from his side to make the first woman. God gave Adam this woman, Eve, to be his wife. Adam and Eve lived in the beautiful garden that God made.

Soon Adam and Eve had many children. When the children grew up, they had children. Soon there were many people on the Earth. Today there are so many people it is hard to count them all!

God did not create people because He was lonely. He made us so that we could love Him and praise Him. The Bible says, "Great is the Lord, and most worthy of praise . . ." (Psalm 48:1). God wants people to praise Him because He is great and good.

When you see all that God has made, you can say, "How great God is!" You can praise Him when you pray. Tell Him that you love Him and that you need Him. You can never praise God enough.
