If chapters 1-2 of Gen are correct then God is the Creator of all things that are good in His sight. How wonderfully and beautifully we are created! Humans have the most amazing attribute of all living creatures - we have been created in the image of God. Sin entered humanity and severed our relationship to God in Gen 3 and humanity experienced not only a spiritual death but physical too. When we are appropriately restored back into relationship with God through the saving work of Jesus Christ, that image of God is restored at least in part. God has created us with such great potential to bring glory and honor to our Creator. This is the purpose for why we exist.
The Westminster Catechism's 1st question:
What is the chief end of man?
Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever.
There is no greater purpose than the answer to this universal question under heaven. We have been created to magnify the living God and delight in His presence forever. We are far from living out the Biblical and godly purpose for why we exist.
1 Corinthians 10:31
Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
Romans 11:36
For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.
Psalm 73:25
Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth.
Lord, may we experience Your creative touch in our hearts to live for your glory!

"Prayer and Fasting"
Prayer and Fasting, in the Bible is necessary part of a Christian life. Christians, who pray and fast is much more aware of God's glory in their lives. This week I want to Seek, Knock, so that the door of my life would be opened to me and my family, our hillside ministry, Love ministy, and for the salvation of those who do not believe. Our hillside ministry needs healing and it only comes through prayer and fasting. This is so wonderful to the believer who pray and fast. Fasting, is really sustaining from food but God wants us to sustain from watching television or those who love eating meat. I want my faith to grow in him as I wait upon the Lord, through prayer and fasting.
1. 나의 영혼이 잠잠히 하나님만 바람이여, 나의 구원이 그로부터 나는도다. 2. 그 분만이 나의 바위시요, 나의 구원이시며, 나의 강한 성이시니, 내가 크게 흔들리지 않을 것이로다. (Psaml 62:1-2)
Let's have Victory in Christ Jesus, through prayer and fasting. I want to see the glory of God move in our ministry and worship
so that we could be on fire for God
