I said this earlier: to glorify God and enjoy him forever (Westminster Shorter Catechism). Need some Bible Reference? Check our Got Answers. I was going to pull a couple of sentences out, but it really is good to read the 5 short paragraphs in their entirety. It brings out several aspects.
So, god created beings; beings capable of experiencing immense physical, mental, and emotional anguish; beings who he can, and will, and knows ahead of time he must cast into an eternity of anguish; so that his ego can revel in these beings worshipping and glorifying him? Because, it’s not fun to be almighty god unless you’ve got some pet audience to tell you how great you are every day? God made people for himself; for his own selfish desire to be praised; knowing the pain his decision to create would cause untold numbers of souls? That’s beyond unjust. It’s sick.
