Be not mere shadows and echoes!

Our existence is secondary and dependent on the absolute Reality of God. He always was and had no beginning. "I am Who I am" is His name (Exodus 3:14)
This is why we were made - Colossians 1:16
"All things were created through Him and for Him"
This is why our sexuality was redeemed - 1 Corinthians 6: 18, 20
"Flee from sexual immorality.. You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body."
This is why we eat and drink - 1 Corinthians 10:31
"So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."
This is why we pray - John 14:13
"Whatever you ask the Father in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son."
This is why we do all good deeds - Matthew 5:16
"Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your father who is in heaven."
Why we exist?
TO DISPLAY THE GLORY OF GOD.
Humans are not made to be shadows and echoes.
We were made to have God-like substance and make God-like music and have God-like IMPACT! :)
