Knowing

The meaning of life is to Know.

Their needs to be a shift of focus about our lives. Conventional/contemporary wisdom (wisdom?) says that life is about quality of life. That's what the world focuses on and tells you it's about. No wonder the world is so miserable. They are going after the wrong goal. The right goal is Knowing. Which can also be translated, loving. And I spell it with a capital K because it signifies something much deeper than just knowing somebody. It is the purpose of life. To Know people. God first, as the creator of all people, and the source of the life of all people, but then other people too.

This might be a difficult blog entry for some of you to swallow, but I believe it needs to be said. The word Know in the Bible is often used to denote sex, as in Genesis 4:25--"And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore him a son and named him Seth." Why? Why wouldn't it just say, "And Adam had sexual relatios with his wife, and she bore him a son?"

Well, I think that it's done on purpose, by God, to show us something...namely, the meaning of life.

Why is sex like it is? Why make something in life tht is so incredibly astonishingly attractive and irresistable? Why make something as good as sex? Why? What's the purpose?

It is because God is trying to tell us something. All of God's creation tells us something about Him, and something about the way he thinks. (See Romans 1:20)
