Purpose of life


Looking from the Christian point of view, we can see that this world is full of sin, sickness, pain, and etc. The first person who sinned in this world was Eve. We’re all wondering why she did that. Why did she eat the fruit that was toxic? God let her to make her choice, to do what she wants, and she chose to sin. All her life she was a Christian, she obeyed God, and didn’t do bad things. She didn’t know what sin was, and I think one of the reasons why she ate this fruit was because she believed the snake. She believed everyone, and she trusted everyone because she never knew what sin was. So she trusted the snake, and she thought that the fruit is going to be so good, and nothing is going to happen. And so she ate it.
God gave everyone a choice in their lives, to believe in Him or not. A human being has a right to choose what he wants to believe in. Everyone make their decisions. Some people don’t understand what the purpose of life is and how they should deal with it. I want to talk about the movie that we watched in English class, called “Into the Abyss”. Watching this movie made me sad because I saw how people made bad decisions without even thinking. There are two boys who killed two people just because they wanted the car. Hearing this is stupid because how can you kill two people just because you wanted their car? It’s just unbelievable. After that they got arrested, and the court followed the rules, the law. The court decided to give him a capital punishment, in other words, to kill him.
Is it okay to take away someone’s life even if they did something bad? No, I think it is not okay at all. God allows things to happen in life, and I’m sure that there is a purpose of why He’s allowing it. God gave everyone a chance to live, He gave everyone a good life, and people cannot decide to do a capital punishment or not, only God knows when we’re going to die, and how. These two guys who killed people, they knew what they were doing, they knew that it is going to turn out something bad, and I’m sure that they knew that they’re going to be arrested. It was their decision to kill those people, and they didn’t even care about them, they just wanted the car.
That’s how sinful this world is. This was just one of the examples of the sin. I don’t really know why capital punishment is allowed, why God allowed this to happen, but I trust Him, and I believe that there is a purpose for that.
