1.1 CREATED FOR A PURPOSE
WHERE DO WE BEGIN?///
Throughout the work of Creation and into the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve, we see that God desires a close relationship with His creation. He put so much detail and care into not only creating humanity, but also in creating the world that we would live in and enjoy. He showed through nature that He cares about the smallest of details, resulting in order and structure. He is an intentional God.
Knowing this truth can enhance our perspective on our relationship with God. Instead of just thinking of Him as a distant, uncaring God, Creation proves that He is close and concerned about everything we do and everything that happens to us. The Bible says that if He cares that birds are fed, how much more important are we to God than birds that He would care about us? (Matthew 6:25–26). He wants us to know that we do not have to worry because He is close and He cares.
