In our existence, there will always be a time in our life that we cant help but to ask
ourselves, how stupid it must be for us but thats the reality we cant help ourselves but to think,
those questions that keep popping on our mind like Why am I even here? What are we living for?
What is the purpose of my existence? Who am I? . Even the scientists or the smartest person in
the world cant answer your question because the one who can give us clear answer is no other
than ourselves.
If Im going to ask you a question: What is your goal in life? Probably some will answer,
I want to be a successful Doctor, Pharmacist, Teacher, Engineer, Accountant, name it all the
profession. But let me just rephrase the question and try to answer it: What is the goal of your
life?
It may seem an easy question but the truth is we cant find the right answer. Its a tricky question
right? Theres no significant answer that had come to your mind. Isnt it we are just here in the
world, living our life just to finish college, get a job, marry, have kids and pass away to a new
generation who would do the same. I dont want to generalized but I think most of us especially
students like me I think we still dont see the purpose of life, we are in the current state of
searching for it, searching for our possibly aspiration.
All men are created by God as rational being union with soul, but first and foremost we
are created by God to have relationship with him. Being in that relationship will ultimately
satisfy
our soul. Yes we know God, but beside from being our father and creator do you really know
him? Try to ask yourself. As man, God give us privilege to have the choice and free will. In our
life right now Im sure each of us had many wonderful experience, but we havent hit a nail yet.
We are here to be used by God for some noble purposes, but not the one we were ultimately
planning for ourselves because it is not the one through which we will find the happiness and
fulfillment. Noble purpose that God made us for is to make contribution to those around him, and
in doing so inspire them to live a life that is greater than them. Everyone of us will get the
profession we want, use it to help others and not only helping on yourself, remember we are
made for others to help them and to contribute to the success of each other.
A relationship with God is the only thing that will quench our souls cravings. Jesus
Christ said, I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who
believes in me will never be thirsty. Until we come to know God, we try to eat and drink all
kinds of things to satisfy our hunger and thirst, but yet they remain because we know in
ourselves we truly dont know God in our heart. We dont know what is the purpose of our life
why God made us for. But we should never lose hope on searching for that golden purpose, we
still have a bunch of time to do that. Lets not waste this time and continue search for our
purpose. Once we find these purposes we can have the fulfillment in our heart and soul and we
can say in ourselves that We truly know you God At last I have found my purpose in life.
Each one of us greatest desire is to know God, to have a relationship with him. Why? Because
thats how weve been designed for.

What is cult?
-The word cult has three definitions. First of all, it can simply be a group that loves something. When
people refer to an "Elvis cult" or "The O.C. cult," they mean really devoted fans.The second
definition is that of a religion whose beliefs differ from the majority around them. In the Roman
Empire, Christians were sometimes considered a cult because they worshiped Jesus rather than the
Roman gods.The third, and most commonly used definition, refers to a religious group that
is: Exclusive. They may say, "We're the only ones with the truth; everyone else is wrong; and if you
leave our group your salvation is in danger." Secretive. Certain teachings are not available to
outsiders or they're presented only to certain members, sometimes after taking vows of
confidentiality. Authoritarian. A human leader expects total loyalty and unquestioned obedience.

What is Sect?
-The word sect comes from the lain word sect, which means school of thought. It is a subjective
term that may apply to a religious faith or denomination, or it may refer to a heretical splinter group.
Sects are found in all religions. Islam has Sunnis and Shias, Judaism has Orthodox and Karaites,
Hinduism has Shiyaism and Shaktism, and Christianity has Baptist and Lutherans. These are all
example of religious sects, thet can be thought of as branchesof different religions.

What is Denomination?
-A denomination is an established religious group, which has usually been in existence for many
years and has geographically widespread membership. It typically unites a group of individual
congregations into a single administrative body. Denominations differ greatly in the sharing of power
between
individual
congregations
and
the
central
authority.

What is religion?
-Religion is the set of beliefs, feelings, dogmas and practices that define the relations between human
being and sacred or divinity. A given religion is defined by specific elements of community of
believers: dogmas, sacred books, rites, worship, sacrament, moral prescription, interdicts,
organization. A religion may be defined with its three great characteristic: Believes and religious
practices, The religious feeling (i.e. faith), Unity in a community of those who share the same faith:
the church, it is what differentiates religion from magic. http://atheisme.free.fr/Religion/What-isreligion-1.htm
What is church?
-Church has come to mean a building or organization, the original Greek word ekklesia meant a
gathering, assembly and is the basis for our word congregation. And that is what God designed
the church to be a group of people. The definition of a church as a separate building specifically
for worship would have been foreign to the early believers, as they met in homes. The church was the

people, not the building. With the legitimization and affluence of Christianity in later years, the
church came to mean the building where people met. Now. It often is used to mean a particular
denomination. But the truest meaning of the word church is the group of believers.
