The Meaning of Life 6/7/2012

"For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them." Eph 2:10

It is an age old question to consider the meaning of life. Many a person has looked toward the heavens and contemplated their reason and purpose for existing. Thousands of philosophies, religions, theories and social constructs have arisen in attempt to answer such questions. In truth, we only need look to the originator of life to find the answer.

Beloved it is God who created each and every one of us whether we acknowledge Him or not. He did not create us to sit around in the lap of luxury but to accomplish that which would glorify Him. Even in the Garden, Adam had responsibility to carry out the will of the Father. Throughout the history of mankind it can be seen that there were always those involved in transmitting the word of God and exemplifying the behaviors He expects of His children. The more contrarily the world population behaved, the stronger the message became. God has always seen to it that there is a consistent message from Him expressed to all from those faithful to Him. We were created to do His will. What is His will? Most simply put, we must love Him and each other. On these two things hang all the lessons of the inspired Scriptures.

Rejoicing in the Lord,

Lee
