On this first day of the month of May I present to you a fundamental question which every person has to answer: Why are you here on earth? Our anchor scripture gives three clear answers to this question in the underlined parts. The first reason, it says "ye turned to God from idols". Every man is born with their heart turned away from God into emptiness. A person turns towards God by accepting the Lord Jesus. Until you accept Jesus, your heart is empty. You may not have idols like shrines, but there's emptiness in your heart. Your relationship with God is number one. Your existence without a relationship with God is empty. Don't trade your relationship with God with anything. In John 14:6, Jesus declared, "I am the way, the truth and the life, no man comes to the Father except through me". Outside of Him, every human person is dead spiritually and is full of emptiness. If you are reading this article and you are not born again, you can follow the prayer of salvation at the end of this book.

The second reason why you are here on earth is "to serve the living and the true God". When you get born again, never be idle. There are different ways through which you serve God. You serve God with your faith and your works of services. Romans 12:11 instructs, "be fervent in spirit, serving the Lord". Serve the Lord everywhere you are. The third and last reason why you are existing is "to wait for the return of Jesus Christ".

This means do everything with a consciousness of the soon coming of our Lord Jesus. As you serve God, actively look forward to meeting the one you are serving. Hebrews 9:28 declares, "..unto those who look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin, unto salvation". Look forward to meeting Him. Have the consciousness of His soon return always.
