On Existence 2

 

As we understand the nature of existence and the relation of existence to God, it only follows that we should seek to understand the reason for our existence. For what purpose are we, as individuals, here. The answer is the same for everyone--to seek and fulfill the will of God.

It should first be said that no person is placed on earth to "do" anything. We are not here to win souls, preach the Gospel, to feed the poor, etc. What I mean by this is that works on their own can neither be good nor evil (Rom 14:14). We have to break away from any mentality that would suggest otherwise. No act is good or evil on its own. It is the conditions of the act-- and, ultimately, how those conditions relate to the will of God-- that gives an act its moral weight. When Adam and Eve received the knowledge of good and evil, man for the first time had the knowledge to judge for himself what is right and what is wrong. However, any act of morality that stems from man is inherently wrong (or, at best, void of quality), no matter how it measures up to the human standard of good and evil. Any act that stems from the will of God is inherently right, because the will of God sets the conditions that truly make any act good or evil. Therefore the standard of good and evil should be disregarded. There is only the will of God as a standard, nothing else. That which departs from the will of God is sin; that which is in alignment with the will of God is righteousness. It is clearly the will of God to win souls, preach the Gospel, feed the poor, etc. We should, therefore, do such, not for the sake of the act, but to do the will of God. There is no other purpose for existence.

It should also be said that the spoken will of God does not depart from that which is written in the Word of God. So then, it should not be said that this is a morally relative point of view. Only that the will of God is absolutely right, and the will of man is absolutely wrong. We must, then, bend our will to His.
