Looking for answers to questions about life?

People have always wanted to know more about life—the reason we're here, how we relate to one another, what life is like hereafter, what link we have (if any) with those who have passed on. Questions such as these go back at least as far as Biblical times.

A question put to Christ Jesus raised this issue. His response offers much to think about. He said, "And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?" God Himself declared "I am the God ..." (not "I was the God") of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jesus then underscored this profound point about the eternality of God's being and about man's unbroken relation to God, saying, "He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living" (Mark 12:26, 27).

What happens when we learn of the nature and essence of this "God of the living" and discover that he is our God, our creator—that He always will be, and always has been, the actual source of our life? Wouldn't we look at our lives—and live them—in a whole new way?
