What does it mean to truly understand the purpose of life?
In this video, Dr. Joel Beeke emphasizes the importance of recognizing the true essence of life. He warns against being preoccupied with trivial matters or material possessions while missing the central focus of life, which is God and His Son, Jesus Christ. The child born in Bethlehem is the Savior of the world, the Prophet, Priest, and King, and the ultimate treasure. Life's meaning is found in being able to declare, "For me to live is Christ." This recognition of being in Christ and the anticipation that dying will result in gain reveals a deep understanding of the purpose of life.
Dr. Beeke highlights the necessity of being born again and coming to the point where one can genuinely say that living is Christ and dying is gain. This perspective acknowledges that true fulfillment and meaning are found in a relationship with Christ and the eternal blessings that await believers. Without this understanding, a person is not prepared to meet God or comprehend the essence of life.
"For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain." - Philippians 1:21 (NKJV)
