You want to know the absolute truth?...the truth is God wants each of us to experience a life that has meaning, direction, love, and peace. God makes this kind of life possible through a personal relationship with his Son, Jesus Christ. But before you accept Jesus as your Savior, here are 5 truths that will help you understand God's desire for you:
1. God has a plan for your life. "No one can recieve anything unless God gives it from heaven" (John 3:27) God created you and has good plans for your life. To know those plans, you must know God personally.
2. God's plan gives meaning. "Jesus replied, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty" (John 6:35). Many people seek meaning and purpose for their life. But they never find it because they look for meaning in the wrong things and the wrong people. When you follow God's plans for your life, the most important of which is to know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you will find meaning and purpose in all that you do.
3. God's plan gives direction. "Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, "I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won't have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life" (John 8:12) Without God's direction, you may not know what to do with your life. You may try a lot of things, hoping to find meaning in each one. But if you have God in your life, he will lead you and show you how to make your life count for him and his Kingdom.
4. God's plan bring peace. "I am leaving you with a gift---peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled of afraid" (John 14:27) When you follow Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you will be at peace with God. You will also be filled with God's peace. So when trouble come, you will be able to have peace as you endure hardships.
5. God's plan is for you to live with him in heaven. "For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16). Before Adam and Eve sinned (Genesis 3), they had a good relationship with God. Therefore, they were not ashamed to come into God's presence. But after they sinned, their relationship with God changed, and they were ashamed to come into God's physical presence. Sin had separated them and the entire human race-including you-from God. But God did not want sin to keep people from having a relationship with him. So he provided a way in which people could be cleansed of their sins and live with him in heaven forever. He gave his only Son, Jesus, as the perfect payment for everyone's sins.
Praise the Lord Almighty!!
