Do we ever really consider the big questions of life? We are often very busy in our daily activities to earn a living and provide for ourselves. In carrying out all the mundane activities of life, we may wonder if there is something more to life. We may wonder if we are missing out on something deeper as we see all the stars in the night sky and realize how vast the universe is. We may sense that there is more to life than just earning a living. We may wonder if God really exists and if the Bible is the Word of God. Is the Bible the proper foundation of all knowledge? Why did God create human beings and place them on earth? Does God have a plan for dealing with human beings? What is the purpose of human life? If God is all loving and all powerful, why does he allow human suffering? With all the problems in the world and all the nuclear arsenals of several nations and more nations developing nuclear weapons, can mankind survive? Or will a nuclear war and all of its related effects such as famine and disease destroy all human life from the face of the earth? Is Jesus Christ the son of God? Did he come down to the earth from heaven to bring good news? If so, what is the good news that he preached? Does God want a relationship with human beings? If so, why does God seem to hide himself? Does he call some people now to have a special relationship with him? Is Christianity just another religion, or is it a way of life? What is the purpose of the church? Is it just a place for social activities and to receive help with personal issues? Or has God given the church a special mission? What is the Holy Spirit? How can God's Holy Spirit empower us to overcome problems such as bad habits and addictions? Can it help us to lead a more rewarding and happy life? Does God have special festivals that outline his plan for human beings in this life and beyond and to provide times for joyous celebrations? What happens us when we die? What happens to people who die who never heard of Jesus Christ? The questions above are some of life's biggest questions. The answers to these questions are in the Bible.
