4. THE PURPOSE OF THE CREATION OF ALL THINGS

Originally, God did not create for play, nor did He do so as a hobby. He did not create without any purpose or direction, or without any substance to His concept. This you can understand easily through common sense. He created all things according to His greatest purpose and His concept of the larger cosmos. So we cannot deny the fact that God's heart is present throughout the whole creation, from the extremely small level of the microbe to the vast expanses of the cosmos.

Then, what is the purpose of creation according to this idea? It is surely that God's purpose is the ideal world centering on God's love. That is the world that is connected with love, enjoying love, living with love, and dying with love. When we wake up and open our eyes, we see those things that are in front of our eyes. There is a certain connection and relationship even between us and the tiny microbe. The microbe that we ignore has a relationship with humans. It reflects the value of existence since it follow s the plan of heaven.

Why did God create all things? He created them in order to have an object of love. God created them to exist in the realm of God's eternal love, first on the physical plane of the earth and later in the place of eternity. We must realize this. (142-76)
