Why Did He Create Imperfect?

This is a question often asked, "If God is perfect, why did He create something　imperfect? ​​Could He not create all flawlessly? Does this mean God is not perfect like a　human, He sometimes made a mistake and created imperfect?" And the conclusion theyreach is "Does it mean I am one of God's mistakes?"

Yet, as one comes to know the almightiness and the depth of God’s love, such a shallowconclusion is overturned. It is not through mere knowledge, but through experiencing His love, that one's perspective is completely transformed. 

To perceive this world as imperfect implies an awareness of what a perfect world ought tobe. In other words, the claim that this world is imperfect arises from the conviction that ithas not yet reached its intended, complete state. Certainly, it stands to reason that a worldnot centered on God would be imperfect; deep down, people actually know this to be true.On the other hand, people often assume that a perfect world would be the result ofperfect individuals coming together. In a sense, that might seem like a logical conclusion.But is that the kind of ordinary, predictable world God desires to create? Is God’s workmerely mundane? Far from it; His work is filled with wonder, awe, and magnificence!

God’s perfect work can bring imperfect elements together and complete perfect. Church exists to testify to this reality. Imperfect people are gathered and transformed—enabled to love one another through Christ’s unconditional love—thereby forming the perfect household of God. The process itself is extraordinary, as things once deemed impossible are brought to fulfillment one after another. This is truly the perfect work of love performed by a perfect God!
