John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 14a And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us

John 8: 58 “I tell you the truth,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!”

Genesis 1:27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

God did not create us because He needed company.  Jesus, the Word, God, the Father, and the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God were in existence as well as the angels.  So, what is our purpose? 

John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

We were made in the image of God.  Since God is a spirit, so are we.  While what we see is our flesh, the real part of us, the God part of us is our spirit.  And, we were created to worship and honor God.  So, we commune with our Creator by dwelling in His Word, being filled with His Spirit, and choosing daily to honor Him with our lives.
