Created for Himself

For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: (Col 1:16)

There are those who would say that ‘god’ is of man’s imagination hence ‘god’ is a creation of man. Both Christians and heathens have similar capabilities to form a ‘god’ of one’s imagination, shaped and formed according to ones need and desire. It is man’s fallen nature to want God to conform to ours. 

To create a ‘god’ is to basically design one that suits my ideals, inevitably allowing that which is flawed to be included. This ‘god’ is one that doesn't need to have the highest moral standards, it suffice to bear the same caliber as we want. Hence there is a possibility of morals degenerating or improving as we move from one station of life to another; essentially morals fluctuate according to us.

The truth that God created is the beginning statement of the Bible and Torah, no excuses and explanation needed. All of what we see and experience is all of Him, through Him and eventually to Him. Thrones, dominions, principalities and powers come and go, so will we but the Creator remains. As a child of God, our life, desires and ambitions will be conformed to Christ. His ideals will become our ideals, His morals will become our morals, etc. At the end it is for Him. In all the scheme of things it seems rather selfish of God, but the truth is that He loves. It was God that first gave, paid the cost price for our ransom. He loved, still loving and continues to love for God IS love.
