All human life
—what we do, experience, and feel—
happens here
in a small corner of the universe.
The more we learn, the more we wonder
about the world and our place in it.
Does life have a purpose?
Where did life come from?
Why are we here?
We may look for meaning in the path
we choose in life
—one that makes a difference in the world
or that might provide us
with a secure future—
and we may center our life
on close relationships
with family and friends.
But do these things in themselves
bring lasting satisfaction?
Often, the most we can hope to accomplish
is to leave behind a fading memory
of who we were and what we did.
What is the key
to finding lasting enjoyment
and purpose in life?
The Bible says
that we are created with a spiritual need,
just like our need for food.
If we do not satisfy our spiritual hunger,
we will never feel truly fulfilled.
God invites us to know him
and, through his Word, the Bible,
to learn how to get the most out of life.
He says:
“I, Jehovah,
“am your God,
“the One teaching you to benefit yourself,
“the One guiding you
“in the way you should walk.
“If only you would pay attention
“to my commandments!
“Then your peace would become
“just like a river
“and your righteousness
like the waves of the sea.”
To worship God and to benefit
from his guidance
is the real purpose of life,
and he doesn’t want our life to end.
If we accept that truth,
we can have a life with real purpose,
both now and forever.
