ailing mentioned that everyone is trying to find significance, security and satisfaction in life, and explained that this can only be truly and fully fulfilled in God alone.
she also mentioned that from romans chp 1, man's entire being(meaning their mind, heart and will) has been entirely corrupted, referring to the sinful desires, shameful lusts and depraved minds that God has given man over to.
before, i've thought of something similar before, regarding our purpose in life, however this is just a way i have organised my thoughts, and i am not saying that this is in anyway a flawless explanation. if ever there are inconsistencies or discrepencies, please let me know.
some people say the meaning of life is to have a relationship with God, some say that it is to glorify God, and finally some say that it is to trust and obey God. i think that they are all connected in this relationship:
all creation(that obviously includes man) exists to glorify God, and for man, that particularly means to trust and obey Him(doing which will naturally bring glory to Him), and a living relationship with God will be our motivation to do so.
so therefore,
Glorifying God is WHAT life is for
(Significance?)/(Mind?)
Tursting and Obeying God is HOW life is to be lived
(Satisfaction?)/(Will?)
Having a Relationship with God is WHY this life is worth living.
(Security?)/(Heart?)
of course, much more ought to be said and this is very rough, but i really need to sleep now...so, another time...
