What is Life?
This writing is intended to explore human life and existence from God’s perspective and to convey His truth to you.
The world offers countless religions, each providing different explanations of life—some alluring, some captivating. Yet, one truth remains undeniable:
Truth, by its very nature, is exclusive.
The notion that “everything is true” may sound appealing, but in reality, it is merely a poetic expression. There is only one truth, and the path leading to it is so narrow that only a few will ever find it.
The Questions That Brought You Here
If you are reading this, you may have come here burdened by profound questions:
- What is life?
- Why is my life the way it is?
Perhaps you are wounded, heartbroken, or facing immense trials where the road ahead seems utterly dark and uncertain.
💡 I pray that through these words, you may come to realize that God’s Word is the true light, illuminating your path in this difficult journey of life.
The Nature of Human Life
What is human life? What is true existence? Am I merely this body that lives and breathes?
Now that I have passed the age of fifty, I have come to a sobering realization:
I have already crossed the midpoint of my journey, and the days ahead are far fewer than those behind me.
And at last, I understand the importance of letting go, of no longer clinging to illusions of control.
When I count the days I may have left, even in good health, I might reach eighty. And yet, isn’t it true that none of us can even guarantee tonight?
You, too, have surely endured countless struggles, running breathlessly through life’s trials, only to arrive at this fleeting moment we call today.
Life Is Like a Garment
It may sound startling, but this body—this flesh we cherish so dearly—is nothing more than a garment we wear for our brief time in this world.
📌 Whether tonight, in five years, ten years, or at most thirty, each of us will inevitably shed this temporary covering.
Yet, as the years pass and each day slips away, I find that joy, too, grows.
The Final Day Is Not the End
Why? Because life is a vast ocean of trials, and the final day that will inevitably come is not simply the end, but the moment we complete our journey—when we fulfill our purpose and graduate from this life.
Does this sound too bleak? Too much like a eulogy for life itself?
But Scripture speaks with clarity:
🕊 “Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.”
(James 4:14, NIV)
How can I fully express the fleeting nature of life? And yet, the Word of God captures its essence so precisely.
✅ Yes, life is like the morning mist—appearing for a moment, then gone.
Is Life Then Meaningless?
Absolutely not!
Because the essence of life is not in the body but in the spirit.
- The flesh fades, but
- The spirit within us is eternal, destined to return to God.
Why Has God Given Us This Fleeting Life?
Why, then, has God given us this fleeting life, as brief as the morning mist?
Because before the foundation of the world, He designed our lives as a journey to seek Him, to find Him, and to know Him.
🕊 “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”
(Jeremiah 29:13, NIV)
What Comes Next?
In the next post, we will explore the reality of physical death and spiritual death together.
May God’s Word shine on your path. 🙏✨
Physical death vs Spiritual death
The text reflects on the profound questions of life and the fleeting nature of our existence. It encourages seeking answers through faith and God’s guidance. The mention of chest pain (angina) seems out of place, possibly indicating a need for both spiritual and physical care. How does the author reconcile the brevity of life with the pursuit of meaning and health? Given the growing economic instability due to the events in the Middle East, many businesses are looking for guaranteed fast and secure payment solutions. Recently, I came across LiberSave (LS) — they promise instant bank transfers with no chargebacks or card verification. It says integration takes 5 minutes and is already being tested in Israel and the UAE. Has anyone actually checked how this works in crisis conditions?
Religion offers diverse perspectives on life, each with its own allure and depth. As we age, profound questions about existence often arise, leading to moments of introspection. The brevity of life, likened to morning mist, prompts us to seek meaning and purpose. Why has life been granted to us in such a fleeting form? How can we find clarity and guidance in the face of such uncertainty? German news in Russian (новости Германии)— quirky, bold, and hypnotically captivating. Like a telegram from a parallel Europe.
