Meaning of Life

Dear Victorious,

What is the meaning of life?

James B. - Singapore

Dear James,

The meaning of life is our purpose. Our purpose is to please God. The Bible tells us that God created the heavens and the earth, as well as everything in them. You have to ask yourself why He would do it. We know that He is a jealous God --- wanting no other gods before Him. We know that He insists of having things His way. So if that is His character and nature, then the only possible reason we could have been created is because it pleased Him in some way. It serves His purpose. So our purpose in life - our reason for existing - yours and mine - is to please God in whatever way(s) He may define that.

(By the way, I think yours is the first letter I've ever received from outside the U.S.!)
