Over centuries man has always put forth this question, “What is the meaning of life”? Today I would like to put forth an answer to that question.

The Bible teaches us that God is love (I John 4:8, 16), and that sin leads to death (Rom. 6:23. Sin is the nature within all men (Rom. 3:21). Sins are acts which are not in agreement with God’s Will and purpose. In the book of Genesis God told Adam and Eve not to eat of a particular tree in the center of the Garden, for if they did, they would surely die. When our ancestors did, sin entered them and the world. Moreover, sin brought death into the world (Rom. 5:12). Ultimately, Adam and Eve chose death over Love!

1 John 4:8 explains, “God is Love.” We see in the creation of man how God loved Adam, He created Adam in his own image and likeness. Adam lived for and because of God. He was obedient at first. When you are obedient to God you are choosing Love. When you are disobedient you are choosing sin. Sin leads to death.

The entire Bible is a collection of historical stories and divine directions and instructions to choose God (who is Love) or sin (which is death). This choice is presented to us every second of every day. We are constantly choosing love or death.

Jesus came to earth and showed us how to choose love on a daily basis. Because he chose love, he died sinless. Because he died sinless, He received victory over death when He rose again in three days.

Jesus is the representative for those that want to spend eternity with God which is love. That’s why Christians follow Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is a representative of God’s love for us (John 3:16).

And as it will stand forever, the only way into heaven is to follow Christ. We have to accept Jesus as our Lord and savior and let him into our hearts (Rom. 10:8-10). We must give our lives unto him.

So what is it going to be? Love or death?
