WHY DO I EXIST?
God's purposes for man in his creation give the first clues to the correct answer to the question "Why do I exist?"
(a) We are here because God created the world, and He created man to inhabit it (Gen. 1:26-28).
(b) Man was created to posses the earth. He was to make the earth serve him. He was to rule all other creatures. He was to cultivate God's creation (Gen. 1:28, 2:15; Ps. 104:14)
(c) He was intended to enjoy God's creation (Ps. 104:14,15)
(d) Man was created to know God; he was made in God's image, and in this was uniqued amongst all of God's creatures (Gen. 1:27; Ps 8:5f)
(e) He was made to have fellowship with God (Gen. 3:9; Amos 4: 13)
(f) It was intended that he should find his highest satisfaction in having God Himself as his friend (Ps.27:1,4)
(g) He was created to live in devoted dependence upon God (Luke 10:27; Matt. 4:4)
(h) Man was created to do God's will, he was to obey God, he was to live by faith and obedience (Gen. 2:15-17)
(i) He was made for God's pleasure, as was all of God's creation (Heb. 2:10; Rev. 4:11; Gen. 1:31)
(j) Man was created with a capacity to enjoy God for ever. Man is not merely a physical creature but has an eternal soul (Mark 8:36)

 

WHAT IS SIN?
Sin is basically rebellion against God. Arising from the corruption of the human heart, it is the cause of our separation from God, and the reason for our deserving God's wrath. Sin is man's greatest problem.
(a) SIN is doing wrong (Dan. 9:5)
(b) SIN is acting wickedly, it is doing evil in the sight of the Lord (Ps. 51:4)
(c) SIN is turning aside from God's commandments and ordinances - what the Bible calls transgressions (Ps. 51: 1)
(d) SIN is falling short of God's glory (Rom. 3:23)
(e) SIN is ignoring God's Word as it has come to us through the messengers He has provided (Dan. 9:6; Heb. 3:13)
(f) SIN is lawlessness (1 John 3:4)
(g) The essence of sin is to be against God (Ps. 51:4)

WHY DID CHRIST COME?
As promised in the Old Testament Scriptures, Christ came into the world to save sinners by His death on the Cross, according to the deliberate will and plan of God, that the way should be open for sinners to obtain a right relationship with God and the gift of eternal life.
(a) He came that those who accept Him may receive a right relationship with the Father. (Matt: 10:40; Luke 10:16; John 13:20)
(b) He came that , by means of the Cross, he might be the way to god for us. (John 14:6)
(c) He came to proclaim the good news of peace through the reconciliation by the Cross Eph. 2:17)
(d) He came to bring spiritual life to men. (John 5:40; 6:51; 58; 10:10, 20, 31; 1 John 4:9)
(e) He came so that everyone who has faith in Him as the crucified and risen Messiah should possess eternal life (John 3:14, 15; 6:40, 51, 58, 17:3)
