God created Man to have fellowship with God. That is one reason why God hates sin: it causes estrangement from God. God wants to know us as friends, close friends, not as master/slave relationship. A very important note: God wants man to be His friends of their own free will and not to feel forced to do so (or else man would be an automaton, just another group of angels doing what they were told. God does not want people knowing Him out of duty, but out of love, and this love leads to worship. Answer God created man because he wants someone to love, and to love him back. Because it says in the scriptures that God is love. Before we were created, there was nothing but him. So he made us, like him, so he can reach out to us, and love us.

Answer So he would have a son. Answer: Whilst there is no indication in the Scriptures that God has to find out more about Himself, He made man in His image and likeness, Genesis 1:26. In Colossians 1:16,17, it tells us: "By Him Jesus Christ were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him (He is creator God), and for Him (for His pleasure, glory, and purposes): and He is before all things (eternal), and by Him all things consist (hold together).

The Westminster Confession Shorter Catechetical Question asks:

"Q. 1. What is the chief end of man?

A. Man's chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever."

The Scriptures indicate that man is to glorify God in his life, and if he does, he will glorify and enjoy Him forever.

All of the above are pretty good, but here is an answer from the St. Joseph's Baltimore Catechism, which one of the most accurate references to answer questions, on the Catholic Church and God, (If you ever find it, read it, it will answer all most of your questions on God):

Q. Why did God make us?

A. God made us to show forth His goodness and to share with us His everlasting happiness in heaven. (Baltimore Catechism Question, number #3. Chapter 1.)
