Why Were You BORN?

Is there PURPOSE for human life? Does life, after all, have real meaning? Here is the awesome truth!

(Note: If you want the entire 23 parts to this series go to website: thetruechurch.net. Also br. van who currently is a heathen gave you Part 14 of 23 two days ago but yesterday he didn't give you part of 15 of 23 and so today I continue with part 15 of the series. I guess the Good Lord only needed to use the heathen a few days, again as they say the Lord works in mysterious ways.)

Now remember, I said creation is still going on. Adam was freely offered eternal life. He was complelled to make a choice. Had he and Eve made the choice to believe God---accept knowledge from God, instead of taking to themselves the determination of the knowledge of what is good and what is evil---they could have taken of the tree of life.

That tree symbolically represented the Holy Spirit of God. Taking it would have impregnated within them God life--spirit -life. Then Adam's creation would have been completed within his life-time. He would ultimately have been changed from mortal to immortal---from physical material composition to being composed of spirit, even as God is!

But the first humans rejected basic revelation of knowledge from God---just as humanity has done ever since. They rejected the way God set in motion to cause peace, prosperity, happiness and joy. They limited the acquisition of knowledge to their human minds.

And ever since, man has tried to go his own way---governing himself---living the "get" way, with unconcern for the good of others. And man's way has resulted in all the mountain of evils that has been built up in this world.

Therein is the explanation of all the illiteracy, the poverty, the disease and squalor of the world's majority. Therein is the explanation of the evils that exist in the "more advanced" and "developed" areas of the world. They have education--but with a great, vast dimension missing! Education with no knowledge of the purpose of life. Education that can produce computers, fly missions into space and back, but cannot solve man's problems.

And why? Because the problems are spiritual and man has rejected the knowledge of God's spiritual law---the way of life that would cause peace and universal good!

But has God left stricken humanity to its fate?

By no means.

God's spiritual creation is still in progress.

The real answer was brought out by Job. "If a man die, shall he live again?" Job asked--and answered: "All the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands" (Job 14:14-15).

The latter part of his quotation, most often overlooked, is the key to this whole riddle. Read it again!

"Thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands"! Study that! Job knew he was merely the work of God's hands. Merely a piece of divine workmanship in the hands of the Creator. Merely a piece of plastic clay in the hands of the Master Potter.
