What are you looking for?
Many people admit to be "looking" but don't know or realize for what or for whom. Those who seek God have different motives and reasons: a sense of meaning and purpose in life; peace of mind; filling the void in life; moral fiber to face decisions; strength in crisis; healing; friendship; the absolute truth; forgiveness; freedom from guilt; and the answer to the it all. Many have sought a higher standard of living, human rights, education, freedom, and the supernatural for answers but it eludes them.
We can have all these things and never find God. There is a vacuum only God can fill and we are spiritually empty and restless till we find our meaning and rest in God. He fulfills all our expectations and more. Considering how much God can do for us; how can we neglect such great salvation?
To accomplish the aforementioned, many seek gurus, swamis, wise-guys, cult leaders, mediums, fortune tellers, experts, philosophers, the intelligentsia, the academia, the pundits, the politicians, the religious leaders, the celebrities, the heroes of society, and religion or even drugs and pop psychology. But there is only one true answer to the ultimate and big questions of life: Jesus is the Answer and the Bible is the Answer Book.
All we need to know is in Him and His Word. Without God, life makes no sense! For instance, there can be no objective, transcendent, absolute, universal, and timeless truths but all so-called truths would be relevant because there would be ultimate standard to appeal to and final Arbiter of truth.
But before we can find the answer, we must admit to the questions: are you a sinner and lost without God? Can you find meaning without Him? Do your realize your need? Do you realize that Jesus claimed to be the only way to truth and God?
God is no Cosmic Killjoy, Celestial Policeman, Mother Earth; Clark Kent or Superman (secret identity and super-human under disguise with super powers); Popeye (who is a human with super power); or Man Upstairs who is impersonal and cannot be known; doting Grandpa; or the Force that is to be utilized in our favor. We must see that God is personal and we can know Him. That is why He came to earth as Jesus to reveal Himself. We use things and forces, but we know and relate to persons. None of the assumed deities loves us as Jesus does who proved God's love by dying for us.
To find God, we must first see our need then! To be saved we must realized we are lost. To be made righteous, we must admit we are unrighteous, to be justified we must admit our injustice, to be reconciled, we must admit our estrangement, and to be forgiven, we must admit our sin and guilt! We must seek God with all our heart to find Him (Jer. 29:13; Deut. 4:29; Isaiah 55:6).
Soli Deo Gloria!
