the dictionary states that life is:
1. the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death
2. the existence of an individual human being or animal
3. the period between the birth and death of a living thing, esp. a human being
Life is to glorify God. Every living creature was made by him to show how awesome he is. Even things as small as unicellular organisms-- actually, especially things such as small unicellular organisms-- were created to show how powerful He is to have created things so tiny we can't even see with our eyes.
Even though life presents challenges and devastations everything revolves around and points to Him. He shows us how much better He is than anything on the earth that we could live for and that when we rely on him during times of hardship we will learn so much! That's what life is. When people get confused and think that life is only about pleasing themselves or making money or having fun, there is nothing to rely on when everything lets you down-- and that's not really living! Also, when everything is going well and people think there is no need for God, that's not really living either because there is no purpose or meaning to anything without God. God wants us to know there is so much more to life, and it is to reflect his greatness!
John 10:10
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
