From conceiving to childbearing, the whole process of creation of life has been beautiful. God formed man from dust and breathe into his nostrils for breathe of life and man became living. I have been reading through the Bible and I have not come across "The meaning of life is... ".The Breathe of life is common to both humans and animals and so when God decided to destroy life, He destroyed both humans and animals. God created man above other creatures and so He gave man shared some qualities with God as seen in Genesis 1:26

God said, Let Us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth.

There are so many aspects of life, life is a mystery itself in so many different ways.

  • Duration and Quality of Life: From birth to adolescence to maturity and to death. The length of life and quality of life are different for different individuals.In life,we see paupers, sick people and we have seen God turn poor people to wealthy people. Therefore, believers should live by faith as God cares about our lives because one atom of worry will not add to our lifespan only the Grace of God. John 8:12

When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

  • Life as a Choice: As christians, we have been given a choice to choose between life and death. In the Bible, believing in God and righteous living is synonymous to choosing life and living a sinful life depicts choosing death. Eternal life is the reward for living right. The choice of living should be of wisdom as seen in Deuteronomy 30:19

I call heaven and earth to witness this day against you that I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curses; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live.

Many view life differently. Life is a gift, which should be appreciated. It gets tough at times, but as faithful servants of God we should remain loyal. Nice one.

Life

life the presence of consciousness. Regardless of weather there is a God or not,revolves around our likes and dislikes control by love. Love is with us all nobody really hates themselves they might not like their choices but love is universal. Looking for a better place shows dissatisfaction with what we have at this moment. Been content is the answer. Looking for a reason for things shows that we are discontented with where we are. When we are loving we do not need to have to work things out. Love will look after love and dispels hate. Even people you dislike show love for those they like. Judgement is another dislikeable quality we have. When we judge we put barriers on our love conditions and terms. Love is non judgemental.

Some times i feel there is a purpose and other times i feel there is not. Everyone is dashing around in circles.. only to get back to the same place.. all this rushing. i mean it cannot be healthy for our mental or physical health.. why can't we rest without feeling guilty.. are we not as good as the animals.. who hirbernate.. when they wish.. animals.. we are and we should live like them and not be bind by man made time, that thrusts us into stress beyond imagination.

Life is an opportunity given by the creator to Serve him and awe at The wonder of his amazing works, life is a blessing that should be celebrated and appreciated.

There are so many aspects of life, life is a mystery itself in so many different ways.
The quality of life we live during our duration on earth should glorify God.
Choosing a christ like life should be our main goal.

We alive because God lives. God is the sustainer of our lives and without Him there is no life, I choose God because I want to live @fryo

Life as a Choice: As christians, we have been given a choice to choose between life and death

Best we make the right choice to pick life over death.

Lets live our live in accordance with God so that on the last day we can tell him our we lived our life.

Living a life in christ is the true difinition of life .
You may decide to enjoy your self while you are living your wordly life .
Remember your life is perfect with christ

He gave us life an ever should we be grateful to him for preserving our lives. Life is of no use if we don't exonerate our God above all other God

Life is a precious gift from God to man although the reason for the life remains mystry to man, this is really a nice post @fryo

LIFE IS A GIFT OF GOD!
It is a free gift from God, and what you do with it is your appreciation for that gift.....
Use your gift of life well.....
Nice post, Steem on

We all see life from a different angle, but I must say the way the things we see today was formed is beyond man's imagination. Scientists have tried their best to uncover some things but all to no avail.
