There
is meaning in life!
A very wise man once said
“Everything is meaningless, a chasing of the wind.” You
can pour your life into many things. Hours, days,
months, and years quickly disappear as we busy ourselves with work and pleasure. In the end, does it
really matter?
Yes, it does matter what
you do with your life. If you have acknowledged the
existence of God and the gift of eternal life through
the death of Jesus, you should live differently. God has
given you a future with him and he rewards those who
please him. The wise man quoted above concluded “Respect
and obey God! This is what life is all about.”
"For
I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD.
"They are plans for good and not for disaster,
to give you a future and a hope.”
(Jeremiah 29:11, NLT)
You’ve probably
heard about Rick Warren’s best seller “The
Purpose Driven Life.” (Several valuable supplemental
resources are listed to the left.) In his book, he outlines
five key areas of life involvement for experiencing
a fulfilling and meaningful life. For the one who trusts
Jesus as their Leader and Forgiver, these five purposes
are keys to experiencing the abundant life Jesus promised.
