Do you truly understand the meaning of life?

Love and serve God and take care of the people that you can .​

Jesus summed it up in two commandments .​

Matthew 22:37 Context​

34But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. 35Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38This is the first and great commandment. 39And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

 

[Lambano]

I think this is a lyrical song, more like a love song between a man and a woman. Because when I tried to listen to it from the perspective of a friendship, I always felt it didn't fit.

I've always heard this song from the perspective of God's love for us:

Please tell me
What is my life
Without your love?

And tell me
Who am I
Without you
By my side?

I think God's Word has anything to do with the ecosystem and natural environment which is Dynamically balanced.

Everything in nature is perfectly balanced….this is in harmony Gods creativity. But why did he prepare the earth from a wasteland into a a place for living things to inhabit…not just humans but a multitude of living beings that would share life with us. The perfect ecosystem is designed to keep life perpetuated….it provides food, water and an environment that suits every creature. (Isa 45:18)

In other words, if human beings can't obey God's words, then it is destruction that greets human beings.Is death.

Since God created only humans to live forever on this earth, death was never supposed to happen to them even though the animal kingdom were designed with a life cycle….or a predetermined life cycle for each creature..
The only cause of death mentioned in Genesis was disobedience to the only negative command that God gave to the humans.

Gen 3:22-24 says….after the fall in Eden
“Jehovah God then said: “Here the man has become like one of us in knowing good and bad. Now in order that he may not put his hand out and take fruit also from the tree of life and eat and live forever,—” 23  With that Jehovah God expelled him from the garden of Eʹden to cultivate the ground from which he had been taken. 24  So he drove the man out, and he posted at the east of the garden of Eʹden the cherubs and the flaming blade of a sword that was turning continuously to guard the way to the tree of life.”

Being evicted from the garden, and not having access to the “tree of life”, now meant that death would come, not right away, but it would come….and within the “day” that God stated.
2 Peter 3:8….
“However, do not let this escape your notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.”
If you check out the genealogies in Genesis, not one single person live to a thousand years old.

I think this is what God said in Genesis. You can't eat the fruit of the tree of good and evil, and you must die.And after mankind was driven out of the Garden of Eden,Human beings are concerned about the suspension of execution of death penalty,This sentence "You can't eat the fruit of the tree of good and evil, and you must die" of God can still be embodied on this earth.continue.

Do you truly understand the meaning of life?

It needed a lot of Bible study to get a clear handle on what God’s purpose was for us here….
If you read the Genesis account, you will see that God gave the humans an assignment..to populate the planet and to “subdue” the land outside the garden, which served as a blueprint for what God wanted the whole world to look like. We are not programmed for death and this why we grieve so deeply when we lose loved ones…death was a penalty for disobedience…..not something that was intended to take place naturally….if they had remained obedient, they never would have died, and this earth would have become the paradise God intended it to be by now. But God’s name had been slandered and it required a virtual heavenly court case in order to legally settle it.

I always have a feeling that in heaven, there is no such thing as marriage between men and women. Marriage is merely something the world does to teach us something, about the words of the Bible. Even if it's not, it's still about learning about emotions.

You are correct…there is no marriage in heaven because those who reside there are spirits, created in the same form that the Creator himself has….they do not reproduce in heaven so there is no gender required…..but each angel was individually created, as sons of God.

But the goal we were given by God is to live for life. This life is not merely about creating new life by marriage between men and women. but also about managing everything related to life in this world. Because only when we realize that God's words are connected with everything in this world can we more deeply understand the power and authority contained in God's words.

God’s original purpose for man was as caretakers for the earth, and as carers for all his creatures…. mankind had been carefully and lovingly created to live forever here on this earth, called by astronauts a “jewel in space”.
Made in his image, God designed humans for this earth and the earth itself to support the life that he placed here….forever. Oxygen, water, food and materials to make buildings and fabric were all supplied in perpetuity.

There was no mention of heaven or hell to Adam….just life or death. This earth was designed to be our permanent home.

I like the way the KJV translates this:

Rv 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

We are created for His pleasure.

Virtue and Grace in the Christ Jesus is the Key to Life in abundance !

Johnny Cash sang a great Song that is true. I saw the Light ! If one does not believe that song is true, you are not saved.

There are many words about God in the Bible.There are also many commandments of God.Have you ever thought about the life system of this world?ecosystemHas something to do with God's commandments.The prophecy of the Bible, especially the prophecy of Revelation, describes the destruction of the world.Or the end of the world.Have you ever thought that when human beings violate The word of god.Not just against God's commandments.
Humans will face more than just the apocalypse You are surely die.

The ecosystem that keeps the whole world running, that is, the ecosystem that keeps our lives, is the foundation that supports the whole life. The ecosystem is necessarily related to the word of God.

It's like Never neglect to do a good deed because it is small, and never do an evil deed because it is minor..Human beings violate all the words of God in the world..Is to walk on the road of destruction.


I think God's Word has anything to do with the ecosystem and natural environment which is Dynamically balanced.

In other words, if human beings can't obey God's words, then it is destruction that greets human beings.Is death.

I don't know if I understand what the meaning of life is, but I have this. I play you this song. It is called Steppin' Up Life! By Akari Kito. The animated series is called Working for God in a Godless World.

 

[Jesussaves150]

It is certainly about experience learning right from wrong and failure and success. Learning from failure and being humbly grateful for success.

Everything in nature is perfectly balanced,but if human beings falling from obey the word of God, we have been breaking the perfectly balanced.
We still here on earth, it's God made the plan for all of us to learning from life.
This life is not just our human life.This life is a proposition of learning word of God.Or a scientific proposition.It's like the Bible has predicted the destruction of the world and the end of the world.
It's not because Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden.The mistakes they have made.This is about whether we humansReally relearn to obey God's Word.But I don't think humans are doing well.Otherwise it won't be described in the bible.About this world in the book of revelation.A tragic future.

But the Bible also says that prophecy cannot be changed.So I think ...Maybe humansNeed learning from Failure or Or god will say to mankind at the last judgment.God will point to the earth and say.The ruined earth, look what you have done to life by fire, I teach you water of life, you only know the The technology of fire.

I like the way the KJV translates this:

Rv 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

We are created for His pleasure.

And He created EVERLASTING Hell Fire.

 

[shepherdsword]

And He created EVERLASTING Hell Fire.

[Aunty Jane]

Everything in nature is perfectly balanced,but if human beings falling from obey the word of God, we have been breaking the perfectly balanced.

Yes, it is a sad reflection on us that we failed to respect our wonderfully prepared and designed planet and selfish men began to exploit its resources for personal gain.....great personal gain that established dynasties that still rule even today behind the scenes.

We still here on earth, it's God made the plan for all of us to learning from life.

Yes, God never does anything for no good reason. He allows what is in accord with his will.

This life is not just our human life.This life is a proposition of learning word of God.Or a scientific proposition.It's like the Bible has predicted the destruction of the world and the end of the world.

Again, God has allowed satan to have rulership of this world for a reason.....he told Jesus...in one of the temptations he put before him....

“And the devil took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, and said to him, “To you I will give all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will. If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.” (Luke 4:5-7 ESV)

Satan was bargaining with Jesus for the worship he craved....but Jesus in response, gave the devil the truth of God’s word in reply, every time.

It's not because Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden.The mistakes they have made.This is about whether we humansReally relearn to obey God's Word.But I don't think humans are doing well.Otherwise it won't be described in the bible.About this world in the book of revelation.A tragic future.

This life is our opportunity to show God Jehovah, as our Grand Creator, the love, loyalty and respect that our first parents failed to demonstrate. Free will was never completely free, otherwise abuse would never have turned the world into something God never intended. Free will had conditions.....so, operated within the parameters that God stated, everything would have gone ahead as God intended. We would be enjoying everlasting life in paradise on earth right now, without the need for Jesus to rescue us from what rebellion did to the whole human race in Eden. God’s original purpose for mankind on earth had to be completed (isa 55:11)

But the Bible also says that prophecy cannot be changed.So I think ...Maybe humansNeed learning from Failure or Or god will say to mankind at the last judgment.God will point to the earth and say.The ruined earth, look what you have done to life by fire, I teach you water of life, you only know the The technology of fire.

Yes, prophesy is actually history written in advance.....so it’s sure to be fulfilled, as God knows the end of a matter from the beginning. (Isa 42:9; Isa 46:10)

We are telling God all about who we are, and where our love and loyalty lies as far as our worship is concerned. He allows us the freedom to choose to serve him or not to.....but in that choice we have to understand what is actually on offer.....what are the benefits of faithful Christian service as opposed to those who don’t want to be restricted in their lives or worship. There are outcomes clearly stated for each decision. We are free to choose....God forces no one to serve him, but gave the life of his son to make that offer open to everyone.
