Myth, 61

~ Life’s Goal Is Self-Satisfaction ~

 

The Self-Centered Life  ~  This is a selfish, foolish way to live which ends in devastation. 

“The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God’” (Psalm 14:1a).

“The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God’” (Psalm 53:1a).

 

The God-Centered Life  ~  The only way to have lasting joy regardless of circumstances.  Selfless submission to God is the way to true happiness on earth.  Finding ways to bring glory to our Creator is the meaningful goal of life. 

 

Solomon, reported to be the wisest and richest man to live, who spent much of his life searching for happiness in all the typical ways ended his Book of Ecclesiastes with his final conclusion: “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man's all.  For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil” (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14).
