• If there is no God, then man and the universe are doomed. Like
  prisoners condemned to death, we await our unavoidable execution. There
  is no God, and there is no immortality. And what is the consequence of
  this? It means that life itself is absurd. It means that the life we
  have is without ultimate significance, value, or purpose.

• God’s purpose is “to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.”2 That is fundamental to all we do. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in things that we find fascinating or become so consumed by mundane responsibilities that we lose sight of God’s objectives. As you consistently focus your life on the most basic principles, you will gain an understanding of what you are to do, and you will produce more fruit for the Lord and more happiness for yourself.
