Why Am I Here?

Why did God create me,
and why am I here? 
God's Holy Preserved 
Word, the King James 
Bible, gives us the 
answers. Please keep
reading for this is a very
interesting Bible study. 
I learned a lot from 
researching this. I'm 
sure there may be
other reasons you may
find as you do your own
personal Bible study that 
could be added to this 
list.   

1. God created us for
his pleasure. He loves
us, His creations.

Revelation 4:11  
Thou art worthy, O 
Lord, to receive 
glory and honour 
and power: for thou 
hast created all 
things, and for thy 
pleasure they are 
and were created. 

2. God created us
for His glory!

Isaiah
43:3 For I am the
LORD thy God, the
Holy One of Israel,
thy Saviour:

43:7 Even every one
that is called by
my name: for I
have created him
for my glory, I
have formed him;
yea, I have made
him.

3. The Lord Jesus Christ,
the Son of God, gave us
(His disciples/followers) a
command - to share how
to get to heaven with as
many people as we can
so they do not die and
go to hell.

Mark 16:15
And he said unto
them, Go ye into all
the world, and preach
[share] the gospel
to every creature
[person you can].

4. Another reason I
am here is to reverence
our loving, heavenly
Father (God) by living
by His commandments.
He loves us and wants
what is best for us.
His Holy Word, the
King James Bible,
is our love letter
from God and His guide
book for how we
should live in order
to reverence God (give
Him honor and glory).

Ecclesiastes 12:13  
Let us hear the
conclusion of the
whole matter: Fear
God, and keep his
commandments:
for this is the whole
duty of man.

5. God also tells us
that what is good and
what the LORD
requires of us is to
do justly, to love
mercy, and to walk
humbly with God.

Micah 6:8  
He hath shewed
thee, O man, what
is good; and what
doth the LORD
require of thee,
but to do justly,
and to love mercy,
and to walk humbly
with thy God?

6. God had a purpose
for your life even
before you were born,
just as he did for the
prophet Jeremiah! And
if God had a plan for
your life before you
were born, that
means that you
are special to Him,
and that He cares
about every aspect
of your life. How
cool is that! That
the God of the
universe cares
about you that
much!

Jeremiah
1:4 Then the word
of the LORD came
unto me, saying,

1:5 Before I formed
thee in the belly I
knew thee; and
before thou camest
forth out of the womb
I sanctified thee, and
I ordained thee a
prophet unto the
nations.

God bless you, and
have a wonderful
day! I hope this Bible
study has been helpful
in answering your
question about why you
are here.

And if you do not yet
know how to go to
heaven when you die,
here is how:

How can I be saved 
from my sins and know
that I will go to heaven
when I die? God's Holy 
Word, the King James 
Bible, tells us how:

Agree with God in  
heaven that you are 
a sinner and need a 
Saviour. GOD SAYS 
WE ARE ALL 
SINNERS. But keep 
reading because 
there is Good News 
for you: 

Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, 
and come short of the
glory of God;

Be willing to turn from 
your sin (repent). 

Acts 17:30  
And the times of this 
ignorance God winked 
at; but now commandeth 
all men every where to 
repent: 

Believe that Jesus 
Christ, the Sinless Son 
of God, shed his blood
on the cross to pay 
for your sins and 
mine, was buried, 
and that three 
days later He rose 
from the dead. 

Romans 10:9  
That if thou shalt confess 
with thy mouth the Lord 
Jesus, and shalt believe 
in thine heart that God 
hath raised him from 
the dead, thou shalt 
be saved. 

Repent of trusting in 
anything or anyone 
other than Jesus
Christ (i.e. baptism, 
good works, idols,
false gods, $/tithes, 
man-made church 
rules or traditions,
or religious 
ceremonies) to 
save you.

Titus 3:5
Not by works of
righteousness which we 
have done, but according 
to his mercy he saved us, 
by the washing of 
regeneration, and 
renewing of the Holy 
Ghost;

Jesus said that we do 
not get to heaven by our
good works (stuff we
have done). See verses
7:22 and 7:23 below!

Matthew
7:21 Not every one that 
saith unto me, Lord, 
Lord, shall enter into 
the kingdom of heaven; 
but he that doeth the 
will of my Father which 
is in heaven. 

7:22 Many will say to 
me in that day, Lord, 
Lord, have we not 
prophesied in thy 
name? and in thy 
name have cast 
out devils? and in 
thy name done 
many wonderful 
works? 

7:23 And then will I 
profess unto them, 
I never knew you: 
depart from me, ye 
that work iniquity. 

Accept God's Free 
Gift of eternal life 
through his Sinless 
Son, the Lord Jesus 
Christ. It is a free gift 
to you, but it cost Jesus
Christ his life! You do 
not have to work to 
earn a Gift - It is free!

Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is 
death; but the gift of 
God is eternal life 
through Jesus Christ 
our Lord.

Ask Jesus Christ to be 
your personal Saviour 
and Lord of your life.

Romans 10:13 
For whosoever shall 
call upon the name 
of the Lord shall be 
saved. 

So, if you did that and
sincerely meant it,
then you are now a
Christian! Welcome
to the family. 

Romans 10:9  
That if thou shalt confess 
with thy mouth the Lord 
Jesus, and shalt believe 
in thine heart that God 
hath raised him from 
the dead, thou shalt 
be saved. 

And when you die, you 
will go straight to heaven
to be with Jesus Christ 
forever and ever! The
following Bible verse
is one of my favorites.
It gave me comfort when
I went through double
breast cancer surgery
for I knew that if I died
on the operating table
I would immediately be
in heaven with Jesus!
Knowing that is why I
no longer fear what 
comes after death. 
What freedom there is 
in knowing that.

2 Corinthians 5:8  
We are confident, I say, 
and willing rather to be 
absent from the body, 
and to be present with 
the Lord.

One note to all dear 
Catholics: The Catholic
church says that it is 
wrong to believe that 
you can know you are 
saved before you die. 
Please think about
this: God is a God of 
love. After all he sent
his Son to die for your
sins so you could be
with him in heaven for
eternity! That is love!
Why would a God of love
want you to worry all of
your life whether you will 
go to heaven or hell when
you die? God in heaven 
wants us to have peace 
and joy in this life as we 
live for him and draw 
others to him as their 
Saviour. Only a cruel 
God would want us 
worried and stressed 
about what comes after 
death. But GOD LOVES
YOU and wants you to 
have peace knowing that
you are saved now and 
can know now that you 
are going to heaven when
you die! Please trust your
loving heavenly Father's 
Holy Word (the King James
Bible) when God tells you 
that you will be with Him 
after death if you trusted
Jesus Christ as your 
Saviour!

And now that you have 
become a Christian, it
is important to learn how
to live a life that glorifies
God in heaven who gave
you the Gift of salvation.

Now That I Am Saved?'
