There is one question each one of us asks ourselves from time to time. It's this: Is there something more to life than I'm experiencing? Is there more than I can see? What happens when I die? This question, asked three different ways, haunts us unless and until we find the answer. There is more to life than we allow ourselves to experience. We try to meet our emotional and physical needs, but we forget about the spiritual. How do we meet our spiritual needs?
Some people have suggested that there are as many ways to find God as there are religions. As Pastor Rick Warren of Saddleback Valley Community Church says, that's like saying you can dial any number on your phone you want and still reach your home. That kind of thinking doesn't make any sense! There is only one way to God and that is through Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for our disobedience to God. There is no other way!
Find the spiritual meaning you need in life through a personal, loving relationship with Jesus Christ. There is simply no other way to find peace in this life and hope for the life to come. There is no other way to get to heaven. Tell Jesus that you have been disobedient to God, that you need His forgiveness, then ask Him to forgive your disobedience to God, invite Him into your heart and life, and trust and follow Him as your Lord and Savior. Find peace in life through personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He'll transform your heart and life and give you hope!
