Is life a matter of Fate or Faith?


Based on the creation story recorded in History, carefully analyzed and scrutinized by science, anthropology, Metaphysics, quantum physics and other field of study, we are believed to be created in the likeness of God with a divine significant character like emotions, love, intellect and free will. Unlike animal kingdom that operates based on instinct we operate by emotions, instinct and intellect. When human being yields to instinct alone, we then witness heinous crime like brutal rapes, murder, embezzlement, etc. 

The power to choose is what sets us apart from all other creations, and that is a lot of power we have been given when we really think about it.  I hear this general saying from people which says. “Whatever will be, will be.”. Have you ever heard this statement too? If we look deeper into that statement, it is actually scary to think that whatever happens in life was meant to be, but unfortunately that is the formula of the world we live in. But I beg to differ that if this belief system is true, then what is the reason for prayer, medication, fasting, or even going to any religious places? If our lives were meant to be lived with this predestined path of unfortunate and tragic events with a few happy moments in between, then why would we even need to believe there is supernatural power who we call God. Think about it. 

Fate is defined as something that unavoidably befalls a person or that which is inevitably predetermined: destiny. With this definition it gives the idea that if someone has a wonderful end to their destiny, it will happen to them no matter what and nothing they do can change it. This sounds great but on the flip side, if someone has a bad end to their destiny there is also nothing, they can do to change it. This belief system sounds very flawed and very unfair.

We live by faith in God which translates to trust one another and live by hope, good works and accepting the salvation from God in order to enjoy the abundant life from Him and to enjoy the fellowship of our families, friends and with all others for perfect harmony and satisfaction. Nothing is a matter of mere chance.
