Do you see any meaning in life?

Hello farmer537,

I think that is a very important question! After all, our happiness stands or falls with the fact that we receive a satisfactory answer to it! But only through consideration and reflection one cannot find the meaning of life.

For this reason, the one who has made us humans could also be involved, so God. If one does not believe in God, one should not reasonably assume that he is in the creation of man specific purpose persecuted? The Bible gives a clear and satisfactory answer!

A first hint is found in an instruction that God had given to men shortly after their creation. It is, “Once God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful, and many, and fill the earth, and subjugate them, and keep the fish of the sea, and the flying creatures of the heavens, and every living creature that rises on the earth.”

When God gave this mission to men, they were in the garden of Eden, the original paradise. Thus, according to these words, it was the destiny of man to expand the existing paradise together with all the subsequent generations and gradually to the whole earth to extend. In addition, as they were perfect for body and mind, they would not have become old and sick, nor should they have died sometime.

Even if the first people have made the decision to walk their own ways and to lead their lives independently of God (which has the result that they have not been allowed to continue living in paradise), God nevertheless has its original intention with the earth never abandoned. He still has the goal in mind, from our earth one day a paradise to make!

Everyone who is already trying to do so today, Consistency with God’s will and intentions to live, notes that his life becomes meaningful and satisfying. Thus, according to the Bible, one can never find the meaning in life conceived by God if one wants to lead his life independently of God!

This is what the Bible says: “The conclusion of the thing after all has been heard is: Fear the God, and keep his commandments. For this is the whole of man (Pflicht)” (Prediger 12:13). However, in this text it is not about serving God out of pure duty or for fear of punishment. Rather, the statement “to fear God” refers to the desire not to abuse God and to enter into a close, friendly bond with him.

This is also expressed by the most important of all commandments: “He said to him, “You shall love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your sense.” This is the greatest and first commandment. The second, same, is this: “You shall love your neighbour as yourself” (Matthew 22:37-39). A real meaning in life can only be achieved by close friendship with God find.

The following consideration may also be helpful: Every electrical device can only function properly if you observe the manufacturer’s instructions. Otherwise, it could be that the device either breaks or at least does not properly fulfill its function.

If we are the “product” of our Creator, we can only avoid spiritual, physical, psychological or emotional damage or be happy if we are to Purpose meet.

To this end, many of them are chasing happiness today by striving for reputation and wealth. They think material possessions would be free from worries and allow them a happy life. This is, however, a discord, because the Bible warns:

“But those who are determined to become rich fall into temptation and into a snare, and into many insane and harmful desires that mankind will plunge into destruction and destruction. For the love of money is a root of harmful things of all kinds, and by some striving for this love, they have lost faith and have pierced themselves with many pains everywhere (1 Timothy 6:9,10).

The Bible shows us a far better way: Not that Moneybut Love God is the key to real satisfaction! To do this affects all areas of life mediated a feeling of real life happiness!
