I was watching a documentary on meanings to life recently. One of the interviewers suggested two likely possibilities. “Either life occurred due to an accident or some sort of a Creator.” The Big Bang Theory is on one side of this argument as the ideal conditions were present to occur. Meanwhile, the opposing view suggests God spoke and bang life was conceived.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life, John 3:16.
Regardless of what you believe, there is another question to consider. What should individuals do with your time each is given on earth? Eat, drink and be merry or consider the eternal consequences and rewards for every action? While the first choice seems obvious, the latter considers a life devoted to serving a higher power.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him, John 3:17.
From some reason, when I was twelve, I began to reflect upon the meaning to life before I fell asleep each night. As I pondered this question for over a month, life doesn’t make sense to me to be born out of thin air, live for a while and then die. Something inside my soul felt like there had to be more, a place after earth. One of Jesus’ disciples refers to this eternal promise in 1 John 5:13. During this period of enlightenment I realized that I am a child of God, created to serve and worship the Lord; trusting in the Holy Spirit to guide me throughout this life.
