Never have we had so much information and still millions of people are seeking answers to the basic questions of life. Questions like, “Why Am I Here?” or “How do I find meaning in life?” or “Where do I go from here?” or “How can I deal with the anxiety I am experiencing?” Someone has called these “Life Questions” because they are the things that really give life significance.
Are there answers to these basic questions? If there are, where do we find them. We can find the answers in the Bible. Listen to what the Apostle Paul said to Timothy, 2 Tim 3:15 “and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.”
Three things about the Bible and the answers to life’s basic questions:
First, believe the Bible has answers that are reliable. “Men do not reject the Bible because it contradicts itself, but because it contradicts them.” Whatever it says, then believe it.
Second, study the Bible consistently and diligently. “One Bible in the hand is worth two on the shelf.” Study the Bible.
Third, apply the truths of the Bible personally and daily. A man once said he had gone through the Bible several times without receiving any inspiration. Gipsy Smith, and evangelist from the 20th century, replied to the man, “Let it go through you once, then you will tell a different story!”
Learn the Bible and you will discover answers to life’s questions that you can live!
