Where I came from? Why am I here? Where am I going?
Satish had his weekend project review meet at his office in Hitec City. Project dead line fast aprroaching..So many bug to be fixed. No time for anything else. Saturday Sunday gone. Day and night slogging..
Sitting on the window seat of the company bus, as the bus traveled through the Jubilee Hills some thought s came into his mind.
What is the meaning of this life ? Does life means that I have to slog all the years ahead ..? Get up in the morning… quick break fast. Rushing for the company bus.. pushing cards.. meetings.. design, review, meetings, stack back.
I s that all life ?
Like Satish many of us some time in our life would have thought something like this.
where we came from ? Why am I here ? Where am I going ? You need not a philosopher to think about such thing . But then every one is a philosopher. Well This is not your thought alone.. For ages people have been thinking about these issues and the sad part people have been fighting for these issues..
What we normally do when we have unanswered question…? We ask people. We refer books.
Lets look at one book which very unique. We would have heard about "Visual C++ Bible", "Java Bible" , "Hardware Bibble" etc. Some authors use the term Bible along with the Title to mean it complete. But let us look at real Bible itself.
Well .. If you want to know why Bible is unique .. Uniqueness of Bible
Let see what Bible says about our origin ?
The very first chapter of the Bible , in the book of Genesis its written " God created man in His own image, in the image of God he created him male and female". So that's our origin
[ is there any monkey business here ? Darwin said you came from a monkey. So where is the truth ? You came from monkey or God created you ? Creation Vs Evolution ]
As we have found the answered for the first question lets find out Why AM I HERE ? Why I am here in the tough world ? Full of competition ? Pollution ? War ?Murder ? Chaos ? Pain ?Who is responsible for all these ?
Well the Bible says you are here only for a short time. Something like a probation period.
Bible says "As for man his days are like grass. He flourishes like a flower of the field, the wind blows over it and its is gone. and its place remembers it no more"
Probation period ?? For what ??
That will lead us to third question. Where are we going ? Bible talks about two roads. The road to eternal life and the road to eternal condemnation. But the only time which you can select either of these roads is while you are in this probation period.
How do I select ?
When god created the humans, initially they are staying in the garden of Eden where there was no pain, no death , everything so nice.. But when man disobeyed God , he had to forsake all his privilege which he enjoyed in that beautiful garden. Sin came to man and so death came for him.
But since God loved the world so much, He sent His son Jesus Christ to pay the penalty for all the sins which humans done. For my sins and for your sins. Now who ever believes this and confess his sins to God and accepts Jesus Christ as his personal savoir will have this eternal life.
Can I select the road to heaven by doing good works ? Bible says NO !! Since all are sinners, what ever good works you do will not take one to heaven. Only way to go to heaven is by believing in Lord Jesus Christ. Salvation is by GRACE. Its FREE absolutely. It's a GIFT of God. We have to just go and ask from God .
Now as you read about this , Do you want to receive Jesus into your heart ? DO you want to take the road to heaven ? Just confess your sins to God and ask for his forgiveness and invite Jesus to your heart.
Think about all the sins you have committed. When you are alone just pray like this [ words is not important only the content] True God, I have committed many mistakes in my life. I did so many things which alienated me further from God. Forgive all my sins. I believe that Jesus paid all the penalty for my sins while he died on the cross on Calvary. His blood cleaned all my sins. Reveal yourself to me. I open my hearts and invite you into my life. In Jesus name I pray ..Amen
You will see the difference in you life.
