The meaning of our existence

The meaning of life, the supreme truth, the essence of the universe is a Person. This is the fundamental truth of Christianity. The most important command is to love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul and all your mind. This is the reason of our existence. It is what we were created for.

If we do not love God, then all else is in vain. It is altogether worthless (1 Corinthians chapter 13).

God is love. He created us to reciprocate His love. Even when Adam and Eve failed God and sinned, yet God's love remains. In fact, He is able to show His love even more. To the extent that God gave His Son, Jesus Christ, to become Man and to die for us. This is the extent of God's love.

To know God's love is to discover not only the meaning for our lives but the meaning of the universe. Love demands a reciprocity. It is evident in our human relationships. God loves us and He wants us to reciprocate His love. To those that refuse to love Him who loves them, who in fact hates the One who created them and loves them there can be no other place for them except in hell.

Hell is the place for those who refuse to love God even though He loves them. It is the place for those who willfully choose to rebel against the love of God.

Do not reject the God who loves you.
