What Makes a Christianity's life truly Happy?
Who is the God of The Christianity?
Everyone wants to live a happy life - that is why he strives again wealth,honor, power, family, academic achievment, good healty, etc...But what one obtains from these things of the world is like mirage. The worldly happiness is only transitory and not of eternal nature. Human beings strive to grasp this elusive happiness only to fall down exhausted. At the end of the day when man is about to depart this life, he realizes and confesses that "life is futile."
Then what makes Christian's life truly happy? The answer is to live according to the Creator's purpose oc creation. God created the world so that He will receive praise and glory. Since the purpose of creating us was such, we human beings can only be truly happy when we live according to this purpose of creation. Because this happiness is directly given by our Creator God, this joy from God is beyond human expression, and it is great, profound and eternal.
Indonesia translation
Setiap orang ingin hidup bahagia, itulah sebabnya ia berjuan untuk mendapatkan kekayaan, kehormatan, kekuasaan, keluarga, prestasi akademik, kesehatan yang baik, dan sebagainya. Tetapi seseorang yang mendapatkan hal-hal dari dunia ini adalah seperti khayalan belaka. Kebahagian dunia ini hanya bersifat sementara dan tidak abadi. Manusia berjuang untuk mendapatkan kebahagian semu tersebut, dan mereka akan menjadi penat/lelah. Pada akhirnya ketika manusia terpisah dari hidupnya, dia menyadari dan mengakui bahwa :hidup adalah sia-sia."
Jadi apa yang membuat hidup seorang Kristen benar-benar bahagia? Jawabannya adalah hidup menurut tujuan penciptaan Sang Pencipta. Allah menciptakandunia agar Dia menerima pujian dan kemulian. Karena tujuan menciptakan kita adalah seperti iyu, kita manusia hanya bisa menjadi benar-benar bahagia ketika hidup menurut tujuan penciptaan. Karena kebahagian in secara langsung diberikan oleh Allah Sang Pencipta kita, sukacita ini dari Allah melebihi segala ekspresi manusia, dan itu sangat besar, dalam dan abadi.
