The Way For Students - 010 Chapter 1 - God's Work Of Creation Section 2. God And The Creation 2) The Reason God Created Humans - 3
God created humans because He needs an object of love; in order to love. Can anybody love by himself? It is impossible to realize love without an object. God created all things according to His absolute needs.
He created humans as lords of the creation, as representatives of all the creation. He needs humans absolutely, so He gave human beings the value of absolute objects of love. He created humans as the objective existence in order that they might share love with Him. So humans themselves are God's body. If Adam and Eve had become God's body and they had become a couple, God's couple would have been realized.
Do you understand? Now, how would it be in the heavenly realm? God would have become the human ancestor through the figures of Adam and Eve, and would have come into dominion over the heavenly world and the physical world. Do you understand? It would have been like that.
Why did God create the universe? The first reason is to have an object of love. The second is to utilize a substantial realm. The third reason is to make a connection and to be the real subject so that He can receive stimulation as He dominates His creation. This would have been impossible without having a physical body. Therefore, God created humans. What is the first reason? "For love." How about the second? "To utilize a substantial realm." And what is the third? "To connect with an object of stimulation." God needs the stimulus of love.
When we understand the reasons that God created humans, we realize that He didn't just create for the sake of creating. He did not create just to look and see. God created humans because God seeks to love. You should understand this. (13-212)
When we know the reasons God created human beings, we come to understand that God's main concern while creating was to have an object of love. To derive stimulation through this object of love was the motivation for God's creation. You must realize this. (81-16) |
