Find The Meaning Of Life Through Christ

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, vacations, or 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 a Bible
2. Read it
3. Begin with the book of Acts in the New Testament
4. Believe its contents
5. Change your mind about your sinful way of life
6. Confess faith in Christ as
Son of God
7. Be baptized for the remission of sins
8. Find the Church that is described in the New Testament

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. As a matter of fact, they are all about getting the most out of life, looking out for #1, if it feels good do it, etc. Polar opposite to living right with God. Christianity is far from boring. It's the only way to live! Feed your spirit as you feed your physical body with daily Bible study.

How to Choose a Family Bible

A family Bible can be a good source of information for Biblestudy, and it can also record your family's history and be passed from generation to generation.

Steps

  1. Decide on the size of the Bible.
  2. If you plan to use it only at home or to record your family history, a larger size is easier to read and will have a larger section for family history information.
  3. Look at the style of pages to record the family information.
  4. Choose a Bible with plenty of space to record family births, deaths, baptisms and marriages.
  5. Choose a cover and binding that will hold up under the stress of age and handling.
  6. Select a Bible that's printed on acid-free paper.
  7. Decide whether you want a Bible that has artwork included with the text. Pick a Bible with reference material if it will be used as a study Bible or reference Bible at home.

Tips

When recording your family history, use an acid-free pen to help preserve your Bible.

Read the Bible

Steps

1. Understanding the Bible starts with prayer.
2. Reading an entire section (from the beginning of the chapter to the end) can help you understand the entire message of the writer.
3. Read each passage a second time, and make notes on what the passage says to you.

Tips

Read the Bible without using commentary notes. You don't need someone's opinions, just God's and your understanding of His word.Commentary notes are not inspired but reflect someone’s frame of thought, and may or may not be right. Instead let the scripture interpret the scripture.

Approach the Bible with joy. It does not bite.
