Biblical Answer

The Absurdity of Life Without God

Life without God is absurd, meaningless, and pointless. This is the conclusion of many thinkers and philosophers, including the author of Ecclesiastes. The passage in Ecclesiastes 1:23 says, "Meaningless! Meaningless! says the Teacher. Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless." The Teacher is not saying that life is devoid of any meaning or significance, but rather that life without God is devoid of ultimate meaning, value, or purpose. Without God, life is like a ship without a rudder, drifting aimlessly in an infinite ocean. The activities we fill our lives with, such as work, relationships, and hobbies, are also meaningless because they are not connected to a higher purpose or significance.

The Futility of Human Existence

The absurdity of life without God is further highlighted by the futility of human existence. Without God, our lives are like a drop of water in the vast ocean, insignificant and meaningless. Our efforts, our achievements, and our accomplishments are all for nothing, because they are not connected to a higher purpose or significance. This is the conclusion of many thinkers and philosophers, including the author of Ecclesiastes. The author says, "What does man gain from all his labor at which he toils under the sun?" (Ecclesiastes 1:3) The answer is nothing. Our lives are like a fleeting moment in time, and when we are gone, our existence will be forgotten.

The Significance of Life with God

But life with God is anything but meaningless. In fact, it is the opposite. With God, life has ultimate meaning, value, and purpose. Our existence is connected to a higher purpose, and our lives are filled with significance and significance. This is the message of the Bible, and it is a message of hope and redemption. The Bible says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16) With God, life is not meaningless, but rather it is filled with purpose, significance, and eternal life. This is the good news of the gospel, and it is a message that brings hope and redemption to a world that is searching for meaning and purpose.
