Why Believe in God?
Reason #12
Why does everything in this life lead only to disappointment and death while following the Creator gives hope and life?
For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for
a little time and then vanishes away.
When we have hope only in this life and the temporary satisfactions it gives, we always come up short, feeling like there must be something more permanent and fulfilling. The most eternal, long lasting, powerful event we can begin to conceive (which in fact we cannot) is the singular Big Bang that gave birth to our universe. And yet, that birth also gave birth to a long, slow agonizing death of our universe. In the eyes of nature and man, there is nothing eternal. All is vanity and death but for the Eternal Father and Creator who also gives us a hope of eternal life with Him - but only through Him.
