Bible Question: Is there in th Bible a definite answer that tells us the meaning or reason of being? |
Bible Answer: Lou100 Ecclesiastes shows the most that mere mortal man can be apart from God. What is our reason for being? I believe the Lord Jesus gave us insight into this in John 17:3 "That they might know thee the only true God and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent" It is God's desire for us to know him and that in knowing him love him with all our heart. He desires to have a personal relationship with us through Christ. When Adam and Eve was put in the garden their ulitimate purpose was to commune daily with God. Sin ended this relationship and yet through the work of Christ God can bring about that relationship again. Just a few thoughts Robert |
