The Secret Of Life

Many years ago, I did not understand what really life is.  I never knew where man came from, why he is here on earth, and where he is going after this life.  Is there life after death?

This confusion remained with me until one day I found the answer to my questions.  Now, I know where man came from, why he is here on this earth, where he will be going.

Let me share the truths about life.

Where man came from?  Man does not come from a monkey. That's the truth.   Man was created by God.  It is recorded in Genesis that  man is created by God in His own image.  During the creation, God formed man from clay and put the spirit of man inside. Thus, Adam was created. Then God took a rib from Adam and formed a woman.   She is Eve. They were the first man and woman on earth.

Adam and Eve multiplied.  They have children, grandchildren, etc....  In other words, we are here on earth because of our first parents.  Without them, we can't come to this earth and have mortal life.  Our spirits came from heaven and thru our parents we have physical bodies. Thus, a man is composed of a physical body and a spirit.

Why are we here on earth?  Is our coming here by chance or has a purpose?  We are here for a purpose.  Before we came to earth, we lived in the pre-earth life as spirits.  We can't progress if we remain as spirits.  So God made a plan for each of us.  He wants us to become like Him who has a body of flesh and bones. So, according to God's plan, man and woman enter into the covenant of marriage and bear children so  that the spirit in pre-earth life could come to earth and obtain a physical body.  The cycle goes on and on.

Where does man go after this life?  Our existence here is not like a movie where there is "The End".  Our body is composed of spirit and physical body.  When man dies, the spirit doesn't die but the physical body does.  The physical body is placed in the tomb but the spirit  will go to the world of spirits waiting for resurrection.

There is resurrection because Jesus Christ was resurrected.  During resurrection, the body and the spirit reunites and becomes a resurrected body, ready for God's judgment. After judgment, he will live forever and will not die anymore.  But the kind of life he will enjoy depends on the choices he made here on earth.
