God Is and He has made Himself and His plans and purposes for His creation known through His Story, the Bible.
Who are we? Why are we here? What is this place anyway?
Some of life’s most penetrating questions are answered at the very beginning of God’s Story. The true Story begins with God’s existence already assumed and then explains how God created all things good and how He had a good intention for all of His creation to function well and flourish. In fact, God tells us that He made humans as His image in order that we would enjoy right relationship with Him, each other and this world. As His created beings, we were to submit to His reign and cheerfully and freely obey Him in order to enjoy the full goodness that He intended for this creation. This is all found in Genesis 1-2 in the Bible and is reiterated numerous times throughout God’s Story. God is Creator and we are His creatures who live in this world which is also His creation. We were created to joyfully submit to God’s reign and enjoy the good intention He had in creating us for relationship with Himself, each other and this world.
