Why Are We Here?

Everyone has wondered at some point in their life why they are here on planet Earth?  What is my purpose?  I’ve recently been part of a class studying Eschatology (End Time events) that digs deep in to what is to come, but before that it touches on why we are here in the first place.  The textbook puts it well: “Science struggles with the ‘when’ and ‘how’ questions about the material universe, but only God can answer the ‘why’ questions…The Bible tells us that God created the inhabitants of the world for His Glory.  In fact, God created the world and everyone in it for His glory (Isaiah 43:7)” (Bickett 27).  So there it is straight out of scripture, we were created to give glory to God.  The natural question is what are we doing to give God glory and show his glory to the world?  This is something I think we should all examine in our lives: how am I giving God glory today?
