You were created for a reason...understanding the account of creation will set you on the right path. In Genesis 1:1, the bible tells us that God created the heaven and the earth... Was that information in anyway trying to tell us:
- that it was a summation on the account of creation explained in the verses that followed? OR,
- that it was a definitive fact. He first created the heaven, then, created the earth; meaning to say that the heaven and earth already existed?

The next verse Gen 1:2 paints the chaotic state of the earth at the time. Now, was that piece of useful information trying to communicate something out of the ordinary to us? Was it simply saying, "when God started to form the earth that, it was dark and there was water everywhere?"
Or, "that after God had created the universe, something later caused the earth to be chaotic?"

These two verses (Gen 1:1-2) hold great truths and can reveal to us, the real account of creation narrated in Genesis 1 and the true purpose for the creation of human beings. You, I, we are not just here to "till the garden and preserve it" as many are led to believe. Beside the physical purpose of our creation quoted above, there is a far more purposeful reason: the spiritual.

There was a problem after creation, and that problem led to our creation, Genesis 2:1-4. We are the solution to that problem. What was the problem? Why were we created? What was the garden of eden for? Does it still exist and where is it now located?

You were created for a reason..understanding the account of creation would set you on the right path.
God bless you and enjoy your day...
