What's the meaning of life? After studying and analyzing life, Solomon, known as the wisest man who ever lived, wrote: “Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man” (Ecclesiastes 12: 13). “Jesus said: I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10).

How can I get the wisdom I need? Solomon said to go to the Source: “For the Lord gives wisdom and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding” (Proverbs 2:6). James agrees: “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him” (James 1: 5).

Why do people fight with each other? “What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet... You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures” (James 4:1-3).

Why is the world in such a mess? The great theologian and missionary Paul answers this question: “For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. They claimed to be wise, but they became fools” (Rom 1: 21-22). “The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred... jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition...drunkenness, orgies, and the like” (Gal. 5: 19-21).
