Understanding the Reason for Life - Alfred State
I dedicate this book to the one I love so much, the Father who also loves me dearly, to Jesus my saviour and to the Holy Spirit my teacher. To the precious body of Jesus Christ, the risen king, and to all who want to know the why
for their lives.
FOREWORD
Life is about finding purpose of one's existence and living it. The majority of people in the world are just existing not living. Life begins when a man finds his life purpose. Only men who have found life purpose walk in the path of love. They love God first and then humanity.
I want to commend my spiritual son for the great work the Holy Spirit has used him to accomplish in this book. This is not a product of intellectualism but of the revelation of the Holy Spirit.
Intimacy with God and love for humanity which culminate into the discovery of life purpose is the clear message of this book. It is clearly stated that God owns your life and created you for a specific purpose which can only be discovered via fellowship and communion with Him.
Moreover we're made by God for fellowship and communion which He planned from the beginning to lead to partnership with Him.
The power of love for God and man is central to the fulfilment of life purpose for love never fails. God is love. To love truly is to know God truly. It is impossible for a man to love truly without true love for God.
The author clearly stated that our level of intimacy and love for God determine our love for man which in turn determine our success rate and impact level in life.
This literary work is destined to be a spiritual classic. It will help you to find the meaning of living, life purpose and how to fulfill it in the power of intimacy with God and love for man.
I have gone through the book I am fully persuaded that it will be a huge blessing to millions around the world.
I encourage you to buy as many as possible as you can as Christmas or birthday gifts to your friends or family members.

INTRODUCTION
There is a purpose for everything. The car you ride in has a purpose, the computer set on the desk in your room or office has a purpose, the house you live in has purpose, the television screen hanging on the wall of your sitting room has a purpose, the money in your pocket has a purpose, the clothes on your body has a purpose, the mobile phone in your hand has a purpose. Indeed, everything in our world has a purpose.
People are well acquainted with the purpose of everything around them but when it comes to the purpose of life itself which is the most important, they are not sure. Some have adopted a view of life which they created for themselves and which allows them to live however they please. But to know the purpose of a thing, ask the creator or the one who made it because he/she will be in the best position to tell you the reason they made whatever it is they made.
Purpose precedes creation. Life was created with purpose in mind and when you understand the purpose of it, you also discover the beauty of it.
Have you ever wondered about the purpose of life? Well, this book was written to help you discover it. Have you ever felt like life is meaningless? This book will help find meaning.
I guarantee that in the chapters that follow, you will find satisfactory answer about the meaning of life.
CHAPTER 1
UNDERSTANDING THE NATURE OF GOD
To know and understand the purpose of a thing, you have to meet the one who made it. This is why I am starting with God because He is the creator of life. He created the heaven and the earth and everything in it , including humans.
God is a being just like you and I. He has a nature and He wants us to know and understand this nature.
In the book of [Hosea 6:6] God said, … I want you to know me more than I want burnt offerings.
God really wants us to have an understanding of who is. We can really know and understand God, it is possible. He is not a mystery as many think. The only mystery about God is His origin, besides that, there is no other. His ways can be understood likewise his nature.
[Jer. 9:24] declares, But let him who glories glory in this: that he understands and knows Me (personally and practically, directly discerning and recognizing My character), that I am the Lord, who practices loving-kindness, judgement, and righteousness in the earth, for in these things I delight, says the Lord
. [Amp].
If God was a mystery and if He doesn’t want to be known, He would not ask us to know Him.
Having the understanding of the nature of a thing and also a being is very important in other to relate with that thing or being in a harmonious and a benefiting way.
WHAT IS GOD’S NATURE?
God’s nature is love. The Bible says in [1st John 4:16] …God is love
... Everything he is and does is because of his nature of love. God is good, kind, merciful and patient because He is love. Even when God seems too hard or wicked, it because of love. Every one of God’s actions and reactions can be traced to one word, LOVE.
God’s love nature is the reason He is one and yet more than one- a family.
"And God said let us…" [Gen. 1:26]. God referred to himself as us in this scripture because He is love and love is only possible with relationship. Love doesn’t live alone, it lives in relation to other love beings. Love needs a companion (a son) to love and also receive love from in return. This is why God is one and at the same time, more than one.
Sonship is an inseparable part of God. In
