The Secret of Life! | God's Gift

"The Secret Of Life!!!"

Key Passage: Matthew 6:33

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

To All Of My Dear Readers,

What is the "Secret Of Life?" Generations of people search for contentment, fulfillment and happiness, but most never find it,

although some find it later in their life. People in the world think, that fame, fortune, wealth and power are the "secrets of life",

but it is none of these. These things are all temporary concerning the question "What is the secret of life?" The "Secret of Life"

is eternal and everlasting for those that diligently seek it!!! As a "Man of God" and "Bible Scholar," I will give you the answer,

according to the Bible (KJV) concerning this great question, that is asked by so many people, especially when they get older in

life. I believe, that we were all created by the hand of God and in God's own image as seen in Genesis 1: 26, 27 and in Genesis2: 7, 20-25. I believe, we should see what our "maker" or "creator", the Lord Jesus Christ, says about this in Colossians 1:17!!!

The "secret of life" is found in God's Holy Word (The Bible KJV). Yes, all of the information concerning this question, could

easily be put in a book, but I will write it to you in this one article. I will give you scriptures to read and scripture references to

look up, because I believe, it is best for us to take God at His Holy Word (John 1:1-4 ,9-14)!!!

Here Are Some Facts About "Life":

1. Life is a "span of time", which we are given with a "beginning" and "ending!!!"

(Life's period of time for each of us is very different, even if you live to be 100 years old: it is still very short.)

James 4:14 "Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even as a vapour, that appeareth

for a little time, and then vanisheth away."

2. Life is a "gift" or could be called a "sacred trust" from God!!!

(What are we going to do with this "gift", that God has given to us in this life?)

Ephesians 2:4-7

"But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved): and hath raised us up together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: that in the ages

to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus."

3. "Life is full of ups and downs!!!"

(The keys to success is in trusting God always in life and obeying God's Holy Word!!!)

Joshua 1:8

"This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe

to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good

success."

Proverbs 3:5,6

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall

direct thy paths."

4. "Life's greatest opportunities are at our grasp, if we will only reach for them according to God's Will for our life!!!"

Matthew 7:7,8

"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for everyone that asketh

receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."

5. "Life only brings us joy, when our life pleases the Lord!!!"

("Jesus First" should always be our life's highest priority!!!)

Philippians 2:9-11

"Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: that at the name of Jesus

every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should

confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

In Conclusion: the life, that has been given to us by the Lord Jesus Christ, is worth living well and making a great difference for

the Glory Of God!!! A phrase, that I heard many years ago is fitting for our lives today: "Only One Life Will Soon Be Passed, But What's Done For Christ Will Last!!!" *** Trust Jesus Christ as your Lord & Savior by being born-again eternally for God's glory

and then live your life in the "Pattern of Jesus" with love & compassion from your heart to all mankind, be a "Giver" in life, follow

the Word of God and serve/ worship Christ with boldness through obedience and always listen to the calling of the Holy Ghost

upon your life to bring glorification & praise to the most Holy Name -the Lord Jesus Christ!!! These three Bible scriptures sum up the "Secret Of Life":

(1.) John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not

perish, but have everlasting life."

(2.) Ephesians 2:8,9 "For by grace (un-earned love of God) are ye saved through faith (100% trust in Jesus Christ);

and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast."

(3.) Galatians 2:20 "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live

in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."

For us to be blessed of God in this life, we must keep our eyes on Jesus Christ and search the scriptures of the Bible to find

God's instructions for us (II Timothy 3:15-17; I Peter 1:23-25; II Peter 1:20,21). I pray, that there will never be any doubt in your mind, that the Lord Jesus Christ is the "Secret Of Life" and the "Center of the Universe" concerning all creation

(Genesis 1:1, 26,27; I Peter 4:19). I urgently ask you to call upon the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior of

your life!!! Romans 10:13 says "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord (Jesus Christ) shall be saved."

In the scripture, Titus 3:5-7 says "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by

the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost: which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our

Savior; that being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope (certain future) of eternal life." Dear

"Christian", please do not come to the end of your fruitless life and say, "I wasted my life to glorify Jesus Christ as my personal

Lord and I wish, that I could have done more for Jesus!!!" Many times in my life as I am checking out at a grocery store or

hanging-up on the phone, I tell people to "Remember To Keep Christ First In Your Life, Because Then & Only Then Will You

Be Truly Blessed!!!" Again, "Please Trust Jesus As Your Personal Lord Today: He Alone Gives Salvation To Whosoever Will Receive Him As Their Lord (John 14:6; Rev. 5:1-9; Rev. 22:17)!!!" HALLELUJAH!!! AMEN!!! The End!!!
