People have a tendency to accept things as real, only if they can be seen or approached in an exact way. That’s why our lives are determined by, so to say, tangible events and things. We look for things that we believe can make us happy in this life.
While we, being driven, are chasing after a wealthy and comfortable life, we pass by the most important questions concerning our life. We don’t even have a moment to stop and think about the meaning of our life. Why are we here on this planet, where did we come from and where are we going? Until we have the adequate answers for these questions, we cannot live a full and joyful life.
Our whole life becomes pointless without real answers, because the meaning of life is found in these answers.
Our responsibility as human beings is to seek after and find these answers. We can only live a full life if we know who we are, if we have a reasonable purpose that goes beyond everything and if we know what will happen to us after we die.
The person to whom these questions should be adressed is one who knows the answers and would never lie to us, who loves us and committed Himself to us. This person is God and He gives all answers in the Bible! The Bible says that God created man unto His image and the purpose was to reveal His immeasurable love to us. Man is not on earth by accident, without purpose or reason, but here by the predetermined plan of God for a glorious purpose.
Man has been created for an intimate relationship with God but unfortunately he failed and rebelled against his Creator, causing this event to overshadow their relationship. But God so loved the world, that He gave His only beggotten Son as a ransom and by this He conquered death, the consequence of our fall, that separated His creation from Him. He did all these, that whosoever believes in His Son shall not perish but have an everlasting life. (John 3:16). This is the proof of God’s love, which still stands today.
Let me continue addressing these thoughts personally to you. You, reading these lines now, might have a life that is determinded by ”great” events like other people’s lives are. When you think of life, your mind can be flooded by memories of these defining events. But life is so much more than just a chain of events. We should only look at life in the light of the fact that life does not end with physical death, but it continues in eternity. The purpose of this 70-80 years is that we would be prepared for the life that never ends.
Man has been created not to have his life ended. God gave us eternal life as a gift, and this includes you. But all of us have to make a decision in this 70-80 years of life on earth of where and how we want to spend eternity. You can live in the presence of God with joy, having no problems, sicknesses or negative things, or you can live the opposite of this, separated from your Creator in everlasting condemnation, pain and anguish.
