Why am I here?
What am I doing here?
Where am I going?
There comes a moment when a man thinks about his existence in this world. He seeks the meaning of his life where he came from, what the purpose of his existence is, and where he is going. He knew that the life he had was short and fragile, and because of this, he wanted to make it meaningful by fulfilling the tuna purpose of his life. And this is exactly what he wanted to find.
Thus, man explores the diversity of knowledge of the world and tests various philosophies and perspectives on life. But can a person learn what he is looking for only in his own wisdom to make his life meaningful and better?
The bible says this:
'' Who knows what is good for a man that is dwelling in a short time and will then pass away like a shadow? '' (Eccl. 6:12, Good News Bible)
The answer to this question is "God" because only He knows what is good for man:
This is what the Lord says: I only know the plans I have prepared for your good, and to give you hope for the future. "(Jer. 29: 10,11, MB)
Why does God know best for us? Because he created us. The scripture says:
"Whatever my substance is, you O God the incarnation, in the midst of my mother you have formed me a child." You have seen me, even before I was born, you know how many years my life has been; for it is written in thy book, that thou shouldest be the master of all things. "(Psalm 139: 13, 16 Mb).
It is not enough for man to know only about his origin, that he was created by God. The Bible also tells us what God has in store for his human creation. Before the foundation of the world, God chose a man to love him and to be holy and blameless before him (Eph.1: 4). This is the love of God, that we keep his commandments (I John 5: 3).
But as we know, the man did not meet God's expectations of him because he was weak (Matt. 26:41) so he fell into disobedience to God's commandments and sinned."For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23) Therefore, before anything was created by God, he proposed that Christ Jesus, his appointed human confessor, should redemption man and be forgiven of sin:
"He foreordained us to the adoption as sons, by the will of God, to whom we gave our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace. . " (Eph.1: 5, 7) "As long as the sinner is not yet part of the redemption of Christ and is not yet part of God's purposes in creating him.
Man does not create his own way to fulfill his purpose. what must be fulfilled in man is the purpose and purpose of God. The Bible confirms the purpose and purpose of God. "This plan is to unite all things in Christ. (Eph 1:10, MB) To accomplish this," God put all things in subjection under his feet. he was made the head of the church. This is the body of Christ, the fulness of him that filleth all in all "(Eph. 1: 22-23, MB).
In various ways, the bible shows that Christ is one with the Church. The Church is likened to a body whose head is Christ (Eph. 5:23). The Church is also likened to a married woman whose husband is Christ (Eph. 5: 24-25). The Church is also likened to a Building where the cornerstone is Christ (Eph.2: 20).
In each of these descriptions, it is clear that Christ has a relationship with the Church, a relationship that man cannot separate as God intended man and woman to marry- "What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder: (Matt. 19: 6).
Therefore, in order for man to be united with Christ, he must join His Church body. Joining the Church is very important and necessary, not because the church will redeem and save the man but because the church is redeemed and will be saved by Christ the Savior.
As the saying goes:
"For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body." (Efe 5:23 MB)
"Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood" (Acts, 20 "28).
Clearly, the church is involved in God's plan for creation and even for man's salvation. Outside the true Churchman cannot find the meaning or significance of his plans in life, if they are not covered by God's plan for him all will only come to naught.
