The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
(2 Thessalonians 2:9-12) NKJV
God’s ultimate goal is a place which is perpetually light, where there’s no impurity or corruption, and where he has fellowship with sentient beings. But he isn’t going to make anyone be there unless they want to be there.
It’s very helpful to know that the universe has a purpose because it helps us to understand the broad narrative. It’s also useful to know that there’s a reason for this purpose because it shows us the big picture.
Reason means a basis or cause, as for some belief, action, fact, event, etc.: (Dictionary.com); a statement offered in explanation or justification (Merriam-Webster).
– Reason, definition
We’re using the word reason as above. As such, we’ve deduced that the reason for why the universe was created is as below:
The reason for creation is the manifestation of sentient life with free will.
– The Reason for Creation
The physical material necessary to make this possible is our inherently corrupt Hydrogen-based neutron-saturated periodic table of elements. As such, the only way to make an Earth which can support human life is to gather up all of the corrupted material at the center of creation. This is why in the initial ordering of creation, the creation of gravity on the second day, darkness had to be gathered together at the center of creation while light accumulates as a sphere on the periphery.
Free will is the tricky part. That’s reason for why we’re in this present evil world. However, it’s the point of the whole exercise. Free will is the ability to disobey God, to sin, to literally turn away from God. God had to create a universe in which sin is possible in order for us to have free will.
Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
(Galatians 1:3-5) NKJV
