The Real Meaning Of Life
John 10:10-11 The thief cometh not, but
for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have
life, and that they might have it more abundantly. (11) I am the good
shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. (KJV)
For many people they go through their
short time here on earth and never quite find the true meaning of life, and
why they were put here on planet earth. Many other people do get a hold of
the truth for a season, but then get caught up again in the things of this
fallen realm, and end up entangled and pulled back under, like someone
drowning in a swamp full of weeds clinging to them. As we see clearly
illustrated above, our Lord came to give us access to a new life because
the one that mankind was accustomed to wasn’t working and wasn’t getting
rid of sin, but rather just kept it covered up for a season with carnal
rituals. Now that our Lord has come, and provided a way of escape from this
present evil world, ‘how few are really following through with their
commitment, knowing the real meaning of life in the Spirit’?
Deuteronomy 8:1-4 All the commandments
which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and
multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your
fathers. (2) And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led
thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove
thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments,
or no. (3) And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee
with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he
might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every
word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live. (4) Thy
raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty
years. (KJV)
You know when you stop and think about
it, our short time here on earth is like a test; the plan of salvation is
God’s perfect filtering process to see who really wants to serve Him and
live with Him for eternity. Our Lord has already dealt with rebellion once,
in fact it took place right in heaven; so He decided that in order to fill
the vacancies left when Lucifer and a third of the angels were given the
boot, He would create mankind and give them a shot. So what is the real
meaning of your life today; are you just accepting what the outward
dictates, or have you found some real life by the word of God that is
proceeding from the mouth of Him? At the end of your time here on earth,
are you going to be able to hear well done good and faithful servant, or
will it be depart from me, I never really knew you because you never made
my kingdom a priority?
1 Corinthians 10:4-6 And did all drink
the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that
followed them: and that Rock was Christ. (5) But with many of them God was
not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. (6) Now these
things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil
things, as they also lusted. (KJV)
The Word is quite consistent throughout
on the fact that the many are not finding true life, but rather are being
deceived. You will find that in your walk with the Lord and the deeper that
you get into His plan of salvation, that the path that you are walking is a
narrow one, and not heavily traveled either. So let’s start with today,
living by faith, every word that proceeds from the mouth of God to your Spiritual
ears so that you can have some real meaning in your life, the way our Lord
meant for you to live.
