The Meaning of LIfe
Introduction
A Biblical journey to explain our existence.
True life begins when we connect with God in complete surrender, allowing Him to transform us from within. God gave us His Word to guide us toward this truth, showing through the experiences of others—their failures, trials, and triumphs—what it means to live fully in Him.
Sadly, many miss this profound reality. Some deny God's existence entirely, while others view Him only as a distant savior for the afterlife, missing the abundant life He offers in the present. Without this vital connection to God, we merely exist. Like a branch severed from the vine, we may seem alive for a time, but without the sustaining life He provides, we wither and die.
God's ultimate desire is to be in relationship with us—as a Father with His children—united for eternity in His Kingdom of love, truth, and peace. This is the essence of life, and the Bible communicates this truth clearly. Yet, over time, the message has been distorted or forgotten.
I write this out of deep frustration with how the Gospel is often portrayed in modern Christianity. On one extreme, we’re depicted as sinners doomed to hell. On the other, salvation is presented as nothing more than saying a quick prayer, with no transformation required.
Today’s portrayal of God swings between two extremes as well: a stern Judge eager to condemn and a benevolent Santa Claus who accepts everyone without regard to their actions. These misrepresentations often stem from misinterpreted Scripture, shallow teachings, or a lack of Christians authentically living out the Gospel. Compounding this are voices that have turned people away from anything to do with God, leaving the true message of the Gospel obscured.
In this section, my goal is to present the Gospel, the meaning of life, and humanity’s purpose as clearly and truthfully as possible. My intent is not to convince or coerce, but simply to share the truth, leaving each person to decide how they will respond.
