Ok,this is goin' to be my first serious article.I noe i have blogged once today already,but i cant resist the urge of writin' this one.

Well,in our happiest moments,we dun really think much of life,looking at it as one long joyride.However,in our loneliest,lowest,most depressed moments,we start wonderin',now wat is the purpose of life,why are we even here,?Are we just here to make money and cling on to life?Are we just here to find a perfect soulmate,have a family,and live the end of our lives by the sea?

Well,I believe life is more than just about money,havin a gorgeous wife,or living in a big house with scholar-like kids.If life was just about this few things,then we are nothing but animals with ambitions.

So then,WAT is the purpose of life?I believe that if u were to discover the purpose of life,u will haf to believe that God at least exists.After all,even the famous aethist philosopher Betrand Russel said that "unless you assume a God,the question of life's purpose is meaningless."Well,how do we noe theres even a God out there.I mean,where is God?Is he but an illusion,a fool's answer to everything that happens?No!!God is real and hes alive.Even Albert Einstein,perhaps the greatest genius of the 20th century said there must be a God.How did he come to such a conclusion?For all you science fans out ther,you guys will like find this part extremely interesting.According to astronomers,the Universe began in something they call the Big Bang(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_Big_Bang#Big_Rip).Prior to this,the Universe was in an indescrible state,and till todat,scientists and astronomers have no idead of what the Universe was like at this point.However,aproximately 13.7 Billion years ago,the Universe sprang into existence in a giant explosion which we call the Big Bang.TIme,matter and energy were created as the Universe continued expand and expand.So then,how could the Universe just spring into existence without any catalyst?How did the Universe come into existence from nothingness.Albert Einstein for all his culculations and genius could only come to one conclusion.The only logical answer of how the Universe was created was that an omnipotent being is the one who created the Universe.So,the only explanation for this is that God must be the one who created the Universe,and thus,God must exist.

The awesome Universe which God created

Now that I have established that God do exist,I can now speak about your purpose on life.Many a times,we try to find our purpose in life by looking at ourselves and attempting to figure it out from there.However,we did not create ourselves,and thus we cannot find our purpose in life by looking inwardly.We must understand that it was God who created us.We only exists because God wills that we exist.We must realise that we were created for God,not the other way round,and hence,to find your purpose in life,you must look towards God.Please do not misunderstand that God is a heartless creator,and that we are nothing more then toys to him.This is the wrong way to look upon God.God is a good God who loves the people which he have created.He sent his only son,Jesus Christ to come down to Earth to not only minister and to teach us,but to die for our sins even though he was blameless and we did not deserve it.God is a God who loves us so much that he would send his only son to die for us.Thus,since God is a God who loves us,he seeks to give us a life which is both happy and fruitful.He desires to give us a life of little regret,a life which we are proud to live,a life which is meaningful.Hence,God our creator did not leave us in the dark to wonder and guess the purpose of life.He gave us his Word,our instruction manual to life,the Holy Bible.In this book,God reveals to us why we are alive,how life works,what to avoid,and what to expect of the future.You must not build your life on success stories,pop physchologies,or on success-motivation.We must build our lives based on the word of God.God says in the Bible that"heaven and earth will pass away,but my word will still remain."So for all you guys who are struggling to find your purpose in life,dont be discouraged but instead,seek God.And to all christians,please try and spend time everyday to read the Bible and I know it will change your life for the better.So thats all for now folks,seeya guys around!!

Jesus Christ,Son of God
