8-8-10: Lesson 1 - God made you for a reason

Sermon Theme: God made you for a reason

Bible Verse: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. –Genesis 1:1

Bible Story: Genesis 1

God made you for a reason:
1) He made you in his image
2) He made you to know him
3) He made you for a purpose

Nothing was made by accident. God made everything for a reason and it took him 6 days to make everything. The 6th day we learn that God made all of the animals on the land.

His creation was people: you and me. Of everything God made, he said that we are his “treasured possession.” God made each of us for a reason. The first person God made was Adam and God made Adam for a purpose; that purpose for Adam was to love God and to be loved by God. God wanted to have a personal relationship with Adam. He wanted Adam to know him. Just like God wanted Adam to know him, he wants you to know him. Long before he made the Earth, God decided that you would be focus of his love. You are not an accident. God knew you before your birth and he know you by name. when he made you, He made something great out of nothing. God made you for a reason.
