Picture: Counsel #1 — Importance Of Life’s Meaning CSe 3.1

Discovering the meaning of life is important to each of us because the answer will shape our choices and our destiny. If the most important thing to us is living for God, we will find meaning that not only enriches our life today but gives us hope for a future beyond this life.^[1] CSe 3.2

“For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.” Romans 14:8 NKJV CSe 3.3

“I have seen that those who live for a purpose, seeking to benefit and bless their fellow men and to honor and glorify their Redeemer, are the truly happy ones on the earth, while the man who is restless, discontented, and seeking this and testing that, hoping to find happiness, is always complaining of disappointment. He is always in want, never satisfied, because he lives for himself alone. Let it be your aim to do good, to act your part in life faithfully.” Ellen White in Our High Calling, p. 64 CSe 3.4
