Apart From Christ, Everything Is Meaningless

This is the unspoken reality of this life God has given us.

We were given this life for one purpose and one purpose alone:

To receive Christ Jesus as Savior and Lord and live in and for Him.

There is no other purpose to our lives that has any comparative meaning.

Why is this?

Because the only fulfilling life on earth is a life lived in and for Christ.

And only a life lived in and for Christ gains access to Heaven.

Why is this?

Because God Almighty, the Creator of all that exists,

Has designed it that way! There is One Way, the Way of Christ!

The world around us is living a LIE!

Those without Faith in Christ, which is most of those living on earth,

Will put forward all manner of arguments about what is fulfilling in this life.

Every false religion, which is every religion apart from Faith in Christ,

Will tell you their story.

The Secular Humanists will tell you their story;

They who are consumed with the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes

And the pride of life will extol their virtues.

The Agnostics and the Atheists have their story.

Men will tell you about the advancement of the human race;

About their Technology, their Science and their great accomplishments.

What they fail to tell you is that all the so called great cultures of the world

Lie in the dustbin of history; failures.

They fail to tell you is that there is nothing new:

'What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again,

There is nothing new under the sun.

Is there anything of which one can say,

'Look! This is something new'? (Ecclesiastes 1:9-10)

The wisest and richest man who ever lived, King Solomon,

Summed up life without Christ:

'Meaningless! Meaningless!' says the Teacher.

'Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.' (Ecclesiastes 1:2)

'For with much wisdom comes much sorrow;

The more knowledge, the more grief. (Ecclesiastes 1:18)

'And I saw that all labor and all achievement

Spring from man's envy of his neighbor.

This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.' (Ecclesiastes 4:4)

'Whoever loves money never has money enough;

Whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income.' (Ecclesiastes 5:10)

'As a man comes, so he departs and what does he gain,

Since he toils for the wind?

All his days he eats in darkness, with great frustration, affliction and anger.'

(Ecclesiastes 5:16-17)

'The more words the less the meaning,

And how does that profit anyone?' (Ecclesiastes 6:11)

'Sorrow is better than laughter, because a sad face is good for the heart.

The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,

But the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure.' (Ecclesiastes 7:3-4)

'Adding one thing to another to discover the scheme of things--

I found one upright man among a thousand,

But not one upright woman among them all.

This only have I found: God made mankind upright,

But men have gone in search of many schemes.' (Ecclesiastes 7:27-29)

No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun.

Despite all his efforts to search it out, man cannot discover its meaning.

Even if a wise man claims he knows, he cannot really comprehend it.

(Ecclesiastes 8:17)

In this perverse world, what is evil is called good

And what is good is called evil. (Isaiah 5:20)

In this perverse world, there is a way that seems right to a man

The end thereof is death. (Proverbs 14:12)

Yet, for those who know Christ Jesus and live in Him and for Him;

They have been given His Kingdom in the here and now. (Luke 12:32)

They live in the Secrete Place of the Most High God

And find rest in the shadow of His wings. (Psalm 91:1)

They have been baptized with the Holy Spirit and with Fire. (Matt. 3:11)

They have received Power from the indwelling Holy Spirit; (Acts 1:8)

The Power to OVERCOME this perverse world and the evil one who rules it.

They go from glory to glory, being transformed into the likeness of Christ.

(2 Corinthians 3:17-18) Hallelujah!

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
