There are many ways of viewing, defining and understanding life. Libraries are full of information from philosophy and abstract ideas to complex scientific reasoning. Studies have concluded that life on this planet dates to more than forty millions years ago. But that life in us, that divine bestowment in a creature so unique in its kind “almost perfect” called humans; in which the creator, carefully embodied his personality “image and likeness”. Let us think in the functional and intelligence bestow in a human, may it be the smallest person; how much more is the glorious and marvelous creator itself “the crown of creation”.

Life is define in many ways but they all relate to the strength or internal energy that permits an action to those that possess it. Being a quality of plants and animals, which evolves, adapts, grows, and reproduces; and considers dead when its functions ends, functions manifesting its actions. Let’s take a look: God created all living things and it has to be this way; life did not spark out of coincidence. If it had been, then there would have to be millions of coincidences, all with the same objective. Instead, there is an intelligent purpose of some eternal and perfect being, and that being can only be Elohim, the almighty God. We can also see in Genesis 2:7 that He does something special to humans and to no other biological creature; He “breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul”.

The breath of life into the nostrils means that God had a special interest/purpose for that “special human” known as Adam. Now Adam with the spirit God’s, is given a grand purpose, otherwise why would He declare/grant him as a supreme and intelligent being without a purpose. The grand purpose is to created with that life a “time-space”, which spirits are not quantify nor suffer by it, but a biological being are. In that time-space, God establish years to life: “We finish our years like a sigh. The days of our lives are seventy years; And if by reason of strength they are eighty years, yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; For it is soon cut off, and we fly away” (Ps 90:9-10). Now let’s look at the divine purpose of replacing the third part of angles that did not maintain their dignity and at the offer of cherubim, opted to believe by following and obeying; thus establishing their disparagement towards God’s supremacy and kingdom. “And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day” (Jud 6). This also establishes that God does not obligate and permits everyone to choose between Him or the other.

Now comes the formation and search of those volunteers who are willing to give their life (time-space) to the Lord unconditionally, under the realization of love. So my beloved brother and sisters, we concluded that life is nothing more but a grand-glorious opportunity of choice. Life does not consist more of less of having/conquering, enjoying, acquiring and splurging, nor a passage of time, nor demonstration of grandeur science/wisdom. Neither it is to establish kingdom nor empires, nor to contemplate the sun, the moon and the stars with songs or poetry. It is not religion, worships, art, or philosophy. Of course all these thing we can do but: “All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify” (1Cor. 10:23). Everything previously mention is apt and perhaps pleasure to our biological side (will of the flesh); precisely the option to choose against the eternal and spiritual. God’s word tells us, “For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life” (Gal 6:8).

Life is as easy and simple “a time-space in time”, a range of hope and opportunity to elected between God and the materialistic. We either live in pleasure and materialistic or live the crucified life as Jesus did. Adam chooses the world, ignoring the divine warning and died, converting into a living soul. But now, through the Jesus Christ’s spirit, we must accept it, the opportunity underestimated by the fallen angels, to opt to live with God for eternity. What would you do with your time-space? The decision is in your hands, the proposal is trustworthy, clear, and endorse by God. Lord, I beg of you… To help me choose the right choices in my lifetime! Amen
