“The Lord has made everything for its own purpose,
Even the wicked for the day of evil. ”
Proverbs 16:4 (NASB)
In Genesis 1:31, God looks upon His creation and declares it to be good. Everything and everyone that God makes serves the purpose for which He creates them. The righteous were created to glorify God by allowing Him to demonstrate attributes such as Mercy, Love and Kindness. The wicked were also created to glorify God by allowing Him to demonstrate attributes such as Justice, Wrath, Holiness and Righteousness. Even Satan, a created being, is used by God sinlessly for His purposes. God does nothing by accident. His creation of us is intentional and purposeful.
Questions for application…
What is the purpose for which God has created all things ?
How is God still glorified in the lives of those who refuse to repent and believe on Him ?
