Why did God Create This World?

If God could have created a different world, why did God create this world? We say “could,” because it is logically possible to image a world in which evil does not exist or that man simply chooses not to commit evil. But, why did God create this world?

Part of the answer lies in God’s plan to save man from the choices he makes as a moral being…

First, God wants all men to be saved – 1 Timothy 2:4: “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.”

Second, man can only be saved (made righteous) through Jesus Christ – 1 Corinthians 1:30: “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.”

Finally, this being made “righteous” (or, sanctification), demands a process by which we must grow in Christ – Romans 8:29: “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren” (see also 1 Corinthians 15:49; 2 Corinthians 3:18).

Or, consider Paul’s words in Galatians 4:19: “My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you” (see also Philippians 3:21; Colossians 3:10; 2 Peter 1:4; Ecclesiastes 12:13-14).

Several cipla cialis italia medications can hinder your ability to perform in the bedroom. If we have to be like God in some way in order to be in God’s presence, how can we develop mercy, except in the face of hardships? How can we develop forgiveness if not in the presence of sin against us? How can we learn obedience except we suffer discipline (see Hebrews 5:8-9)?

That means that this world, intended to develop us into the image of Jesus Christ, is the best world for that purpose.

Let us remind ourselves then of what we already know:
A. God is infinite and perfect in His wisdom, goodness, and power. Therefore, God chose the plan that would bring the greatest good.
B. God’s greatest plan is one that would allow evil to exist and yet that evil would, one day, be defeated but all in the process of preserving man’s moral nature.
C. This world, designed by the wisdom, love, and power of God, is the best possible world to achieve the goals God had in mind when He established it.

So, while this world is not the best (of all possible) world, it is the best way to the best of all possible worlds…
