Many books have been written, philosphers have attempted to anwser, scientist have attempted to explain and scholars have attempted to understand this question. My answer to this question is simple: We are only here to decide whether or not to accept Jesus Christ as our Savior but I guess my question is, is that all? Is there a deeper meaning for our presence? Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a toughie. First guess (pardon the humor please) is to make sure my hsuband behaves and to keep the children in line. (LOL) No really, I have no idea exactly why I am here except that God put me here and His reason for that is good enough for me. ( He hasn't let me in on why yet though) :oww: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a proverb that says; "Show me a man who is good at what he does and I will show you a man that is better than most and worthy of the company of Kings" Likewise I would say excel in what gifts God has bestowed upon you... in it's right time...you are unique...set apart for Him for eternity.

I believe that we are here to love God and each other, to serve God and each other and to grow and mature in love, servanthood, and truth in the Word. I believe we are here as in a training ground for preparing us for what God may have us doing in the future (when we are with Him). I heard somewhere, that you grow more exceedingly with adversity, then with peace.... We must be excelling at rampid speed...

Job 37:24 24 Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart. John 17:22-23 22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. Ps 138:2 2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. KJV Eccl 12:13 13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. (KJV) James 1:27 27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
