The Good Life

Life is good. So many people believe to the contrary. It's because they don't know what life really is. Life is more than breathing. It's far more than a heartbeat or a brain wave. Most people have settled for an imitation of life. They are looking for a high, something that can make them happy. No matter what they try, they are always disappointed. So, they look for the good life in something new, finding the same old results.

Too many people give up on the good life, because they never knew real life. They become disappointed, discouraged, depressed, and helpless without life. Their ultimate question, "Is this all there is?" They look for what is sure to be good for them, and they are disappointed once again. They give up on life, never knowing life.

God is the good life. In Him is life, and that life is always good. God's goodness gives life and sustains life. God's goodness gives life with purpose. God's goodness is eternal. It is everlasting life. Unbelief sees no good in life, because it is disappointed again and again. Faith sees that life is good, because faith sees God.

Choose the good life. God is life and God is good. That good life comes through faith in God's Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly" (John 10:10). Ask God to give you the good life in Christ.
