How To-12: "How to Find the Meaning of Life through Christ"

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

To find the meaning of life you need to turn to the creator of life. How did we get here? What is our purpose? We were created for God's family. Until we figure it out, we go through life aimlessly trying to fill it with the latest gadgets, material things, idolized entertainers, vacations, or personal vices. There is eternity written in the heart of every person. We all have a void that can only be filled by our Creator.
Why not check it out for yourself? God promises we will find Him, if we seek Him with all our hearts.

Steps

1. Buy or borrow a Bible, if you don't have a good one you can read easily.
   
2. Pray that God will show you the truth in His Word.
   
3. Begin by reading the gospel of John, in the New Testament.
   
4. Find a church that stands on the authority of God's Word and teaches His gospel.
   
5. Discover the meaning of life and how to obtain eternal life with Jesus Christ.
   

Tips

• Open your heart and mind. You will find there's so much more than what the world has to offer. Things of the world pale in comparison to the promises of God. Christianity is far from boring. It's the only way to live!
  
• Feed your spirit as you feed your physical body with daily scripture study and prayer.
  
• Ask God what is true. He loves you and will answer your prayers.
  
• Men can and do lie but God, who can only speak the truth, will speak to you by the Holy Spirit, through the Bible.
  

Warnings

• Some people will be turned off by you if you become a religious zealot. Keep in mind that salvation in the end is between God and individual people.
  
• Make sure to share the gospel with gentleness and respect, not aggression and judgment. Be Christ-like.
