Purpose of life

By Lateef Oladeji

I have often wondered why God created this world. Eventhough the Books have advanced the reason as "serving God", I still feel puzzled why God would create the world simply for the purpose of making Man serve Him! Are the Angels not serving Him enough?

There must have been other reasons why God felt that we deserved to be created. I daresay one of them was just for the fun of it. God simply felt like 'experimenting' with His mighty powers.

If God had really created us for the purpose of serving Him, what would our serving Him have done for Him? Would our refusal to serve Him have rendered God less powerful? Would our sinful living have detracted from His Grace? Not at all.

Did God create the world for us to enjoy? No, I think. We have to sweat it out to earn a living. Moreover, all the beautiful and sweet things of life are said by our religionists to be harmful to our spiritualism, and hence sinful.

Somebody once theorized that we were created to bear the brunt of the original sins of Adam and Eve! But why would our loving and fair God decide to visit the sins of the progenitors on the innocent descendants? I wish to debunk that theory in totality. God is just and fair and loving and kind.

What then is the more authentic reason for God creating us? I suppose it is a way of making us appreciate Heaven or Paradise when we get there. Hell is here on earth, not elsewhere.
