Is there more to life than this?
As a child grows up, the most persistent question he or he will tend to ask is ‘why?’ As beings endowed with reason, we not only ask what things are but also why things are. At some stage in one’s life, a human being will ask questions like: Why is the universe here? Why is there something rather than nothing? Why are we here? What is the goal of human life? What is the purpose of our lives? Why is there suffering in the world? Is death the ultimate destiny of human existence? Men and women throughout history have attempted to answer these questions.
For thousands of years, wise men and women have discussed and speculated about the meaning of life. In their discussions on the meaning of life, most of the greatest thinkers have concluded that there is a necessary, eternal and unchanging First Cause, an originating principle which creates and sustains everything. This First Cause is what people naturally call GOD.
We know that God is real, not only because there are convincing reasons for God’s existence, but also God has made himself known to us. With deeds and words, prophecies and miraculous works, God reveals himself and his plan of loving goodness. He made himself known to us by stages until He sent his eternal Son – Jesus Christ. God reveals himself in order to invite us to his friendship, to guide and strengthen us in our journey of life, and ultimately attain eternal happiness in his heavenly kingdom.
