Denny answers:
God created the world for His pleasure and our good.
God made everything - the earth, the planets, the sun, the moon, and the stars - for Himself to enjoy and for us to enjoy Him. God created people to share in His love. God has great plans for all His own, plans that they will never know fully until heaven. He works through all people and creation to show His power, holiness (above us in perfection), and love.
Even though God created the entire world, He knows you personally. He wants you to believe and share the story of Jesus' death and resurrection. Jesus is the gift that God gave to save sinners in the world.
