God’s Design in Creating Man

Part I: On Faith · The First Article: God

Q120

With what design did God create man?

God’s purpose in creation is to share his love and to glorify himself together with his Only-Begotten Son and Holy Spirit, “that God may be all in all” (1Co 15:28; see Q236, Q378).

Within this purpose, man is called to seek God (Act 17:27; see Q012), to know God, to love and glorify him, and in so doing to partake of eternal blessedness.
