A fact worth reminding ourselves often is that a total of 108
billion people have lived on this planet earth throughout history of which 93%
of them are dead. We are the 7% still alive. Does this statistics excite us? It
should because it affirms we are God’s unique creation and we have made it
irrespective of all odds. Scientists estimate the probability of a person being
born is one in 400 trillion. This tells us that we were created intentionally
by God. We are a miracle. But are we living up to these facts?
Let me explain this with a simple figure called the line of
infinity, meaning life goes on. In the never-ending line of infinity, each of us
appear somewhere. For example, red and blue vertical lines pop up at a
particular timeframe and then cease to exist within a short framework
of time. But is this what life is all about?
│-----------I---I---------I--------I--------------------

To further emphasize the point, being a unique creation of God
there is definitely a purpose to our living. The Bible is the only book that
details the creation of the universe with all specifications and without any
irregularities. We can find this in the first book of the Bible called Genesis,
which provides detailed information about the entire creation, including human
beings. Unfortunately, religion in most cases has been reduced to hereditary
and geographical, meaning being the part of a nation. Truth becomes irrelevant
and we condemn any information refuting our faith. Today people choose religion
and God to live a life with zero accountability. We just have to perform our
rites and religious demands and it doesn’t require us to change our behavior.
Universe was never meant to be with such brokenness. The first
man violated the freedom God gave to him. He thought probably he can make a
better choice than God and invited the punishment on entire human beings. Life
is impacted and impeded as it is now and we have become a limited edition on
this earth but definitely not in the life to come, i.e. eternal life. Life is
fulfilling and meant to be eternal with God. Let us trust in a God who is real
and not a mythological character, accepting Him as our Savior and live our life
with hope and blessing. The bold and proven statement of Jesus in the Bible is I
live therefore you will live also live. It is also a statement of
hope. We live in this life and in the life to come, i.e. eternity.
