Page 60 - GOALS PDF

There is an eternal dimension.

The Bible says: “God has placed eternity in our hearts.”

No matter what we think and believe about it, this is a wish – a goal we

all want to have. God has put the longing for more inside of us. Of
course, we must believe God and live life with him to realize this.

If we don’t live in God, it’s just a fantasy of our minds.

The gospel says we must make one of our choices to be
about GOD, or it remains an unfounded fantasy.
If we know God, life is a blessing. If we don’t know God,

the thought of death can be a curse.

In this regard, our TESTIMONY is important. What do we believe about
life after death? Is this brief time we spend here really all there is? Or is

there more? And of course it is also important why we believe this.

Life is unpredictable. It has mountain tops and then also valleys that we
experience. And it never goes exactly as we plan it, does it? After all, if
we knew everything before it happened, life would be boring. Thus,

again, LIFE IS A JOURNEY.

The Bible is the only book that has stood the test of time of skepticism
and doubt and challenge. One thing that led me to the Bible several

years ago was an article I read in Readers Digest about 1970.

It said that after the close of World War II, there was a research
institute set up in Russia to prove anything in the Bible wrong – any
piece of history, or prophecy, or just truth for daily living.

The article said that as of that time (about 25 years after the war), this

research institute hadn’t found one material thing they could dispute
and PROVE to be incorrect. They had some questions they couldn’t

answer, but they had no EVIDENCE that it was unreliable.
