Life

GORDON WILLIAM FLOWER

Throughout human history men have expected salvation from sin, disease, and death at some future time. All the discord of the ages has been due to ignorance of what constitutes life, as the reflection of Life, God.

To the materialist, life is an enigma, involving a short span of existence wholly contingent on matter, with its concomitants of sin, sorrow, sickness, and death. In the illusion of life that is temporal, mortal mind claims that man is wholly material, subject to birth, growth, maturity, old age, and decay. How true of this false concept of man are the words of Job, "Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble"! But the mortal dream of life in matter is of material, not divine, origin, for, as the Bible reveals, God is Spirit, and man and the universe are spiritual.
