Light Brings Suffering, Then Glory GR 810

Many people have failed to consider how important it is that we have some recognition of the goal towards which we are moving. Without some understanding of the climax, the end, the purpose toward which we are moving; life is empty and meaningless. If you don't know where you're going, the trip doesn't have any meaning. . If there is no real goal toward which we're moving with our lives, no ultimate climax and end that has purpose and meaning, then there is no answer to the question, why? There's no basis for morality or any concept of personal sacrifice. Why should I be good? Why should I forego the pleasures of the moment? Why should I not do all that I can to please myself? We have destroyed our young people by trying to build up their lives apart from any concept of a living God who will call them into account someday for every deed that they do. This is the basis that the Scripture itself gives for controlling conduct and behavior.
