A Pessimistic Optimism: Purposelessness North Valley Baptist Church
-
- Christianity
A part from God there is no purpose in life. The atheist my claim there is purpose, but they can only arbitrarily make such claims. Because if life is the result of chance and happenstance, with no creator to create for a purposes, then there can be no purpose in life. The Christian knows there is a Creator, and He is the one revealed to us in the Bible. And since there is a creator life does indeed have purpose, worth and value. But even though the Christian knows that, does the Christian ever live as if there is no God? Are their ever days when you live without recognizing God's place in your life, without trusting Him, and living for Him, seeking to do what pleases Him. If so, then you live as if there is no God, and so you live without purpose.
