Or since God is perfect and he created us if he didn't create us he wouldn't be perfect so he had to create us?
Well, God was perfect without us; and, before the earth was, our Father was sharing with Jesus in perfect glory. Jesus prayed >
"And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was." (John 17:5)
So, before the earth was created, Jesus was sharing with our Heavenly Father in Their own glory. So, before creation, our Father was perfect and in perfect sharing of love and glory with His Son Jesus.
And then was when, I see, our Father was inspired to have many children so pleasing to Him, like Jesus is so pleasing, and He destined that we are sharing with Them in Their own glory; and therefore He predestined us to be conformed to the image of Jesus (Romans 8:29) so we may share so with Them in Their love and glory > as Jesus, I understand, has claimed in the Lord's prayer of John chapter seventeen >
"'And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one, just as We are one: I in them and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.'" (John 17:22-23)
Here we see how Jesus in prayer has claimed >
"that the world may know that You" "have loved them as You have loved Me." So, yes God made us humans so He can love us even as He loves His own Son, while sharing His very own glory with us. And we in Jesus already have God's own love living
"in our hearts" > Romans 5:5 >
"Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us." (Romans 5:5)
The Holy Spirit, then, by the way, is the Person of God Himself who shares His very own love with each of us who are His children. And in this love is God's very own glory which we experience, as much as we become like Jesus in us.
"But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him." (1 Corinthians 6:17)
Every child of God has been joined to Jesus, so each of us is
"one spirit with Him." And in this union we so personally share with God in His own love and glory. This is what
"faith working through love" does > Galatians 5:6. This is what God's grace has done in us and now grows us more and more in this.
And we grow in this and discover this more and more as family . . . helping one another, ministering this grace to one another >
"As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God." (1 Peter 4:10)
Every gift of the Holy Spirit, then, ministers this grace . . . while outwardly gifts have various outward activities > deeper, each gift is the Holy Spirit ministering this grace.
And therefore, God made us humans so He can have many children who are like Jesus in His love family sharing with Him in His own love and glory. And as family now we labor for this.
This is where our main attention needs to be.
"Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily." (Colossians 1:28-29)
But we can see how a number of people suppose humans are for something else. And we see how such people are becoming . . . while their attention is elsewhere. So we do well, then, to submit to how God in us is working (Philippians 2:13, James 4:7), guiding our attention, succeeding in His dream in the ruling of His peace in us > we are all
"called" to this, how God in us rules us in His own peace >
"And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful." (Colossians 3:15)
This is
"in one body" > we do this with God in us and in sharing with one another as family helping one another the way God has us doing this. Every scripture is related somehow to becoming like Jesus and loving and sharing as family while we grow in this.
