God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was excellent in every way.
Genesis 1.31
God made us to be his friends. When God made the sun and the moon, the land and the sea, and the plants and animals that fill our world, he was pleased. But when he made people, he said that we were an extra-special creation. We are not just smart animals, we can talk to each other and we can talk to God. Animals can’t. We can talk to him and read about him. From the beginning of the Bible to the end, there’s a clear message, God loves us and wants us to love him back. He wants us to trust him, enjoy him, and obey him. His plan is for us to live every minute as his friends. And someday he wants us to live with him in heaven forever!
Read Genesis 1.27-31, see the ways God was friends with Adam and Eve. God talked with them, provided food for them, and gave both of them someone they could enjoy being with, each other.
Even more exciting is what the end of the Bible says about God’s plan for us to be friends with him forever. Read this special description of heaven, “Look, the home of God is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them.”
