Life . What is life? Where do we find life ?What is the opposite of life? Who wants life and who doesn’t want life?
These may appear like stupid questions but they are not. We all want life .Anything that does not have life may be considered dead except for things like cars ,phones or houses ,depending on your definition and context of life. Is life found in the hospital ,clinic or any other places ? If yes ,at what cost?
What is life ? According to the Oxford dictionary life is described as
- the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death.
- the existence of an individual human being or animal. “a disaster that claimed the lives of 266 people”
For many people ,life start started the day they were born at a local clinic or hospital. When they get sick ,they visit a doctor at a local clinic ,hospital or doctors offices. The hospital appears have
Top brand medical centers and hospitals
There hundreds of top medical centres and hospitals around the world. Some are called by the names of liberation struggles like Nelson Mandela Children Hospitals while some are called by catchy names like Life Hospital. It may cost you a lot of money to be treated at these private medical centers or hospitals. Some times when you don’t have medical cover ,you may not receive the help you need.
More money ,more life or less money less life?
Money is a great commodity ,very wonderful as it can work and respond to life`s most precious times. However , does it mean the rich have more life and the poor has less life? Consider your answer carefully because there are people who had millions of dollars but a day came and that money did not work. Money failed to save life or to buy life so that someone can live forever. Oh how many of us wish to be rich and live forever ,unfortunately , in life we have to face death ,whether you are Atheist ,Catholic ,Muslim or Christian .Both money and poverty can change our lives, especially our attitudes , but without life ,we are all dead. If you are poor ,do not give up hope when you are facing challenges. If you are rich ,do not boast and be proud and arrogant because of your money and riches. Life happens ,things can change anytime.
A wise man once said , “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.”

Scientifically ,Reproductive cloning is defined as the deliberate production of genetically identical individuals. Each newly produced individual is a clone of the original. It is believed that you can pay millions to have a copy of yourself genetically modified and reproduced so you can live forever .Men is so desperate to live forever ,using science to try and advance his own imagination.
A Godless life ?
Men is doing his best to live a life without any divine God who rules him. Many would rather have gods of riches ,gods of wealth ,gods ,of fame and gods of fertility . What gods do you have ? Who gave you life? Who will deal with you after you are dead? Is there reasons to be afraid or to be happy after dying. When we no longer have this earthly life ,do we have any hope ? Is your money going to save you or give you eternal life?
Do not be deceived.
Life is not found in life itself ,in money or top hospitals.
Life through the giver of life.
Real life is found in the true Jesus Christ who is written throughout the Torah and the bible ( both old testament and new testament) .I said the true Jesus Christ because there are false christs and there are going to be many more coming in the future.
The true Jesus Christ said:
John 14:6 – Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 3:16 – “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
John 6:35 – Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.
Romans 6:23 – For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
John 10:10 – The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
Romans 12:2 – Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
John 8:12 – Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
Galatians 2:20 – I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Genesis 2:7 – Then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.
The sad reality of life.
Man is trying to rebel and run away from God because he is unbelieving and sinful. Man is refusing to humble himself and obey God and his commandments. Man is filled with doubts ,yet hopeless. Do not be hopeless. God loves you and wants you to be saved and enjoy life both on the present earth and in the new earth in the near future. All you have to do is kneel down and say ,
Lord have mercy on me ,forgive me for my sins and unbelief. Take my hopeless self and wretched life and give me life , life eternal. Wash my sins with the blood of Jesus that was shed on the cross of Calvary. Cover me with the righteousness of Jesus Christ and fill me with your holy spirit. May you write my name in the book of life and remember me. Seal my heart so that i will never leave you and doubt you again. -Amen
Faith and Obedience.
People can preach to you about many things but Ecclesiastes 12:13 Says , 13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
To fear God is to reverence God or to stand in awe ,beholding God for who he is :Creator ,giver of life ,sustainer ,redeener ,provider ,lawyer ,advocate and judge. To keep his commandments after receiving salvation through Jesus Christ and his righteousness , is to obey him out of love ,respect for life , first unto God(the first 4 commandments) and then men(the last 6 commandments).
Repent and you shall be saved
Time is no more . Jesus is coming again
