The purpose of life

[MrVicchio]

Life, as is seen regularly is harsh, horrid and can be aweful.

But why? God we are told, is a kind and gentle, benovolent being that wishes the best for us.. why then is there evil and pain in the world?

Simply, life is a test. A test of Character. The story of Job teaches us this. You also must consider a bigger picture, you might live to be 76, longer if you are fortunante.. that is nothing in the comsic scale of time. No matter how bad Life is now, here on earth, faith can sustain you, and hold you through it all. For greater rewards will come.

So no matter what happens in Life, pray, stay steady, stay strong, and one day, you will see the rewards. That is what has sustained me in my life. My mother passed away from cancer when I was 7, she suffered horribly, but I found God. I have at times.. been.. less then I could be, but only through God and Jesus can you deal with the crap that is life.

We have evil, to test us, we see hell to remind us of what happens to those that lose faith. This is my belief.

Why did I post this? Too much meditating.. maybe.. Rather, I hope to maybe spark another intelligent debate. I really believe that man is tested in life, not because God is cruel, but because, he knows that just a little faith proves you, and that 70 some odd years of hell on earth is nothing compared to an eternity of salvation. Be safe all.
