                                       THE ANSWER TO EXISTENTIALISM

 

The late 19th century philosopher, Soren Kierkegaard told the world he believed human existence is meaningless.   He said all values and laws are pointless especially moral laws, there is no right or wrong, there is no God.  Kierkegaard and other philosophers believed that the world is chaotic and nothing could be done to change the world therefore each individual should rebel against the chaos but also accept that nothing can change the state of things.   Kierkegaard felt that since life is without meaningless each individual has to create their own meaning and values whatever that may be without regard for any moral laws.  Thus we have the theory existentialism. 

With  the acceptance of this theory and the freedom man has to create his own meaning without regard  to moral law, without regard for or recognition of God,  no wonder there are millions of people who are depressed, wars, murders, rapes, thefts  and all manner of evil abound. 

There is an answer to this chaos.   God provided an answer before the foundation of the world.   God’s word, the Bible tells us about the answer He provided: (Ephesians 1:3 -7 Living Bible) 3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ. 4 Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. 5 God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. 6 So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son.[b] 7 He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins.  

These bible verses tell us that God loves the world and before the foundation of the world His purpose was to draw man to himself as His sons and daughters to have fellowship with Him forever.  

God loves you and wants to fill you with His love and give you peace.   God is the answer for a life without meaning.   Ask God to forgive you for living your life your way and surrender to Him to live according to His is will.
