That They Should Seek God #311

The Bible gives us some answers. The Bible tells us that people like you and me were created "that they should seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him" (Acts 17:27). Yes, one purpose for our existence is to seek for God. But there is a problem. The Bible paints a picture here of people groping around in the dark. They are like people who get up in the middle of the night and are disoriented. They feel along the wall in the dark to find the light switch. But the real darkness in which people are groping is the darkness of sin. And as a result, people do not seek God the way they should. As the Bible says, "There is none righteous, not even one, there is none who understands, there is none who seeks for God" (Romans 3:10-11). The point is this, if people are not likely to seek after God, they are not likely to find Him. And two things happen. First, life has no ultimate meaning. This is true because people are missing God's purpose for them. You see, when you find God and his purpose for you, you have a calling in life. And this brings real meaning, ultimate meaning, to existence. But a second thing happens if you do not find God. If you do not find God now, in this life, you will be separated from Him in the life to come. And when you die, your destination will be "the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels" (Matthew 25:41). And so I challenge you to, "Seek the Lord while He may be found" (Isaiah 55:6).
