Why did God create human beings? He did not create them just to watch them in their daily life. He created humans in order to interact with them and experience love together. There can be no other reason, regardless of what we think.

The purpose of the creation of humanity is love. God did not create life first with the hope of later introducing love. Life itself is created in the very pattern that reflects God's love. In other words, the gleam of love originally began from within God's heart and then life was projected from this gleam. Since life was initiated as a result of God's love, the result should also be love. Do you understand? Because the beginning point is love, the end point should also be love. This is the reason that we are so unhappy when we miss love. (57-22)

So why did God create us? He created us because of love. He was not merely trying to create an artistic work. You must know that God initiated the creation of humanity for the purpose of love.

Therefore, we must acknowledge that there was love even before we were created. God created all things to conform to His standard of love. We must realize that God is the original model of love and that when He created man, woman and the universe, God modeled them after Himself. (161-327)

If God is omnipotent, why does the fulfillment of His ideal of love for humanity seem to be left merely to chance? God is almighty and created all things, yet there remain seemingly insoluble problems in the world. Christianity's answer to this problem is not adequate.

So, we must ask ourselves, "What does God need?" Does He need money, does He need gold, does He need diamonds? Does he need these things or not? He doesn't need them. All of these things belong to Him already. We know this. Then maybe God needs knowledge. The answer is no. He is already the king of knowledge. He has all the knowledge he needs. Really. Next, does God need authority or not? He doesn't need it. He has all authority. It does not matter whether we say that He has authority or not. The Word is the Word.

So what is it that God needs? God does not need life either. He is the master of life, so how can He need life? Then, again we must ask, what does God need? What? [Love] He needs love. Why does God need love? Because love is realized within a relationship. There is no other answer if we examine it logically. God would not make the relationship between Himself, the universe and human beings so unless He were a being that needed love. If God had tried to make a relationship between Himself and the created world without love, the result would have been impossible. It would have been impossible because God communicates by the standard of love. Do you understand? (121-99)

God created humans because He needs an object of love; in order to love. Can anybody love by himself? It is impossible to realize love without an object. God created all things according to His absolute desire. He created humans as lords of the creation, as the representative beings of all the creation. He needs humans absolutely, so He gave human beings the value of absolute objects of love. He created humans as the objective existence to share love with Him.

So humans themselves are incarnations of God. If Adam and Eve had become God's full incarnation and had become a couple, they would have been God's couple. Do you understand? Then how would it have been in heaven's domain? God would have become the human ancestor through the figures of Adam and Eve, and would have come into dominion over the spiritual realm and the physical realm. Do you understand? It would have been like that.

Why did God create the cosmos? The first reason is to have an object of love. The second is to be able to work in a substantial realm. The third reason is to make a connection and to be the real subject so that He can receive stimulation as He exercises dominion over His creation. This would have been impossible without there being substantial beings. Therefore, God created humans.

What is the first reason? [For love]. How about the second? [To work in a substantial realm.] And what is the third? [To connect with an object of stimulation.] God needs the stimulus of love. When we understand the reasons that God created humans, we realize that He didn't just create for the sake of creating. He did not create just to look and see. God created humans because God seeks to love. You should understand this. (138-212)

When we know the reasons God created human beings, we come to understand that God's main concern while creating was to have an object of love. To derive stimulation through this object of love was the motivation for God's creation. You must realize this. (81-16)
