Our lives exist not because we emerged from an evolutionary process, but because it was God’s will to create humans. Nowhere does the Bible tell us the reason for the creation of man, such as: because God was alone; because God was pleased to create; because God wanted to have a counterpart or because God wanted to create beings to love them. In Genesis 1:26-27 we are told about God’s will for the creation of man and how it was carried out: “And God said, Let us make man in our image…. And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; and he created them, male and female”. From this it is clear: we are loved ones. So we are neither “cosmic cornerstones” ( F. Nietzsche ) nor “gypsies at the ends of the universe” ( J. Monod ), nor any upstart from the animal kingdom, but come from a direct act of creation by God.
Furthermore, the Bible tells us that we are loved by God: “I have loved you forever and ever; therefore I have drawn you to myself in mercy” (Jeremiah 31:3) or: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life” ( John 3:16). This verse also tells us that we are destined for eternal life.
