3 “WHY ARE WE HERE?”
Why ask that question?
Some may wonder: ‘Why do humans live for only 80 or 90 years and then die? What is the purpose of such a brief existence?’
TO THINK ABOUT: Many
who do not believe in God still recognize the need to account for the
complexity, intricacy, and order of the natural world. They perceive
that our planet, other planets, and the moon are configured in just the
right way to sustain life on earth. They describe the natural laws that
govern the universe as being fine-tuned, perfectly set so that even the
slightest alteration would make life on earth impossible.
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS: While
many people view our relatively brief life span as proof that there is
no God, the natural world gives ample evidence that there is a Creator. (Romans 1:20)
He had a purpose in making these things, and the reason for our
existence is closely linked to his purpose. God created humans to live
forever on the earth, and he has not abandoned his purpose.
While
we can discern God’s existence and even some of his qualities through
the natural world, God did not intend for us to perceive his purpose that
way. For us to know God’s purpose, and hence the meaning of our
existence, we need communication from God. In the Bible he communicates
with us, using simple, direct terms.
