The key to the meaning of life

FASCINATING QUOTES FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS WELL BEFORE WHO DIED IN 1917 COMMENTING ON JOB 42:1-6! AND TO THINK OF ALL THE DISCOVERIES THAT HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED SINCE AND YET….!

“Again, the atomic theory was thought to be the key; then it was discovered that the atom itself was composed of electrons, and each electron was found to be a universe of its own, and that theory too becomes a lock and not a key.

God Himself is the key to the riddle of the universe, and the basis of things are to be found in Him.

Everything that man attempts as a simplification of life, other than a personal relationship to God, turns out to be a lock, and we should be alert to recognize when a thing turns from a key to a lock.” – Oswald Chambers

Now to quote God’s word:

‭”Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; And his greatness is unsearchable.” – Psalm 145:3

‭”[8] Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, And treadeth upon the waves of the sea. [9] Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, And the chambers of the south. [10] Which doeth great things past finding out; Yea, and wonders without number. [11] Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: He passeth on also, but I perceive him not. [12] Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? Who will say unto him, What doest thou?” – Job from Job 9:8-12

‭” [10] I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. [11] He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. [12] I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. [13] And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. [14] I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. [15] That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.” ” Ecclesiastes 3:10-15

‭”[7] Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. [8] Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher; all is vanity. [9] And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs. [10] The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth. [11] The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd. [12] And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. [13] Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. [14] For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.” – Ecclesiastes 12:7-14

There is no greater purpose or joy or key to life than to know this amazing and awesome Creator of it all and that the Creator is indeed the greatest lover of our souls of all time who went to the cross for His creatures upholding His holiness, justice and mercy all in one most loving scene of God our Creator to us His rebellious creature!

‭”And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” – Jesus John 17:3

To say there is a greater meaning or key to unlocking life than God is quite the claim!
