How could a person answer three of the greatest questions of life in one blog entry? Easy, God makes this very easy. Notice the 3 big questions to follow:
1. Where did our universe come from? The Bible answers this is in the very first verse. "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." Period. Isn't it interesting that God started the Bible that way. No beating about the bush; no delay. Here's the truth. Believe it!
2. What is man's purpose on earth? The book of Ecclesiastes answers this and a lot of other questions about what is important during our time on earth. Eccles. 12:13 says, "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man's all." He concludes with, "For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil."
3. What happens to man after death? This is answered in many places, but it is interesting that the Bible ends with this. Revelation 21 and 22 give a description of heaven and what awaits His followers. But it makes it clear that only the followers will triumph with Him. Rev. 22:14 says, "Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city." 22:20 concludes the Bible, "He who testifies to these things says, 'Surely I am coming quickly.' Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus! The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen."
The Bible from start to finish gives us all the answers. No other book anywhere even attempts to answer these questions....nor to provide the truth as we find in the Bible.
Thanks for reading! Have a God-filled week.
