Why Am I Here?

Many people, young and old wonder, as Rick Warren would say, “Why on Earth am I here” When the Apostle Paul spoke to the unbelievers in Athens in the meeting of the Areopagus, he addressed this: “The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us (Acts 17:24-27 NIV).

God does not want anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). So God has placed us in this time and this place for us to reach out to Him. As, God spoke through the prophet Jeremiah; You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.(Jer 29:13 NIV).

Consider the significance of this. These are the times that God has placed you on I on the Earth. And this is the place He desires us to be. So, believe it or not, we couldn’t be in a better place or a better time, than Alliance Ohio, 2009.

Consider further the technology that is available to us today. The Apostle Paul was able to travel due to the roads built by the Roman Empire. He was able to preach in a common language established by Alexander the Great. Consider the many modes of communication we have available today. Not just mail, radio, television and telephone anymore, but in addition we have the internet, email, twitter, face book, etc. We now have the technology to interact with people across the globe. What an opportunity!

But with the advance in technology, the timeless message has not changed. God created everything we see good, including us (Acts 17:24), and because God created us, he has authority over us (Genesis 1:31). But in man’s desire to be like God (Gen 3:5) , man became disobedient and as a result, all of us have sinned and fall short of His requirements (Romans 3:23). Consequently, we all deserve eternal punishment (Romans 6:23). But God does not want anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). So he sent his son, Jesus, to die for our sins (1 Cor 15:3), and three days later God raised Him from the dead, proving God was satisfied with Jesus payment and assuring us Jesus was who he said he was (1 Cor 15:4). We can receive Jesus’ payment for our sins if we believe in Him and commit our lives to following Christ and surrendering to His Lordship (Romans 10:9). In doing so we will receive the Holy Spirit who transforms us from the inside out (Titus 3:5), and we will inherit eternal life (John 3:16).

This is Good News. And this message is good for both the people across the planet and those across the street. Amen?
