We are born in this world without knowing exactly who we are (identity), where we come from (origin), why we are here (meaning), what to live for and how we should live (purpose), and where we are going (destiny).
The question about the meaning of life has been raised in every generation and investigated throughout history. There have been different views on this matter from other people and cultures. Our understanding of the meaning of life is crucial because it shapes our way of life.
The meaning of life, according to the Christian faith, is ultimately found in Jesus Christ. The questions about identity, origin, meaning, purpose, and destiny are answered with profound hope in Him. We are the beloved children of God, created by our heavenly Father to reflect His glory, walk in His love, and do His will in our lives.
Life on earth is a journey of our transformation to become more like Jesus, who has delivered us from evil, sin, and death, until the glorious day when we spend eternity with him.
ACTION PLAN
A recent nationwide survey completed by the Barna Research Group determined that only 4 percent of Americans had a "biblical" worldview. The same survey looked at the "born- again" believers in America; the results were a dismal 9 percent. Although many people own a Bible and know some of its content, the research found that most Americans have little idea how to integrate core biblical principles to form a unified and meaningful response to the challenges and opportunities of life.
This morning prayer that people in our country would see the source of LIFE is God. Pray that as God's people, we would know before we go! Everyone is looking for answers. God's word, the Bible, contains the truth. Prayer for opportunities to share with others the answers to life's questions.
