The Point of Creation

Daily Devotional by John Piper

The Point of Creation

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male
and female he created them. (Genesis 1:27)

God made humans in his image so that the world would be filled with reflectors
of God. Images of God. Seven billion statues of God. So that nobody would miss
the point of creation.

Nobody (unless they were stone blind) could miss the point of humanity,
namely, God — knowing, loving, showing God. The angels cry in Isaiah 6:3,
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!”
It’s full of billions of human image bearers. Glorious ruins.

But not only humans. Also nature! Why such a breathtaking world for us to live
in? Why such a vast universe?

I once read that there are more stars in the universe than there are words and
sounds that all humans of all time have ever spoken. Why? The Bible is crystal
clear about this: “The heavens declare the glory of God” (Psalm 19:1).

If someone asks, “If earth is the only inhabited planet and man the only
rational inhabitant among the stars, why such a large and empty universe?" The
answer is: It’s not about us. It’s about God. And that's an understatement.

God created us to know him and love him and show him. And then he gave us a
hint of what he is like — the universe.

This devotional is written by John Piper. For more information about Piper's ministry, writing, and latest books, visit DesiringGod.org.
