This Present Evil Age

Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

(Galatians 1:3-5) NKJV

What’s the meaning of life? What’s the point of it all?

Douglas Adams made an heroic effort to tackle this issue. The only way he could cope with not knowing the answer was to turn it into buffoonery with the answer 42. There is a real answer, it’s not a joke. We have been given the choice: light or darkness?

Why did God create the universe?
The answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything:

God created the universe so that sentient beings with free will could make a choice between light or darkness, life or death.

The Answer to Life, the Universe and Everything

Now to make this really simple the light is personified as Jesus Christ. If you want to choose the light then all you have to do is accept Jesus Christ as your savior and repent of your sin.

Salvation

  1. Call upon the name of Jesus Christ,
    • believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,
  2. confess your sin.

Let’s be very clear about a key aspect of the Matty’s Paradigm premise: The fall of man isn’t the fall of creation: the universe was created in a fallen state, the fall of man was when Adam and Eve realized the truth.
