Dear Phil,
I bet that God doesn't love me very much today, as I've not been loving
at all today. I've repented for the unloving things I've said, but they
still bother me.
Thanks much.
Many Blessings,
Pat Ferguson

Pat,
The simple practical answer is because He loves
us. He created us to, and for, love and in a very real sense, our
existence fulfills Him. So, in short, he needs us and He wants to
share life with us now, and for all eternity.
Phil.

- Hi Phil,
- Thanks so much for this explanation. <smile>
- I'm wondering why God needs us?
- Yes, He created us in His Image, but why does He need us?
- I'm not doubting God, but why does he really need us? I know we
surely need Him.
- Thanks much.

- He has been struggling in his life for many years and
especially as an adult. He asked the question because he does not
want to be wrong about whom he worships as God. Let's see if anyone
else wants to chime in rather than using a jack hammer. It is a
perfectly legitimate theological question. Pat, believe it or not,
He made us because he wants us. He wants us because He needs
us. So you are right about that but few Christians will agree with
that position.
