LIFE IS MEANINGLESS… WITHOUT GOD!
LIFE IS MEANINGLESS…WITHOUT GOD!
“Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher. “Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.” What do people gain from all their labors at which they toil under the sun? Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever. —Ecclesiastes 1:2-4
I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind. —Ecclesiastes 1:14
Then I said to myself, “The fate of the fool will overtake me also. What then do I gain by being wise?” I said to myself, “This too is meaningless.” —Ecclesiastes 2:15
A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment? —Ecclesiastes 2:24-25
That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God. —Ecclesiastes 3:13
Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath; humans have no advantage over animals. Everything is meaningless. —Ecclesiastes 3:19
Again I saw something meaningless under the sun: There was a man all alone; he had neither son nor brother. There was no end to his toil, yet his eyes were not content with his wealth. “For whom am I toiling,” he asked, “and why am I depriving myself of enjoyment?” This too is meaningless— a miserable business! —Ecclesiastes 4:7-8
When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? —Psalm 8:3-4
Everything is meaningless—
- Our toiling labor
- No gain for our labor
- Generations are here for a short time, then gone
- The earth continues on
- We chase after the wind
- The fate of the wise and fool are the same
- No gain in being wise
- We die like an animal
- We have no advantage over animals
- Why toil with no one to inherit?
Yes, everything is meaningless… without God!

He—
- Gives us our food
- Gives enjoyment
- Gives satisfaction in our toil
- Gives us gifts
- Owns the heavens
- Created the heavens
- Created the moon and stars
- Set creation in place
- Is mindful of man
- Cares for man
Yes, everything is meaningless… without God! But knowing Him makes sense out of everything, even those things we do not fully understand. Design is all around us and screams out the message that there is a Creator—
“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.” —Psalm 19:1-4
Yes, indeed—
“The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” —Romans 1:18-20
Your life, my life, is meaningless without God. Think about it… if you don’t want to live for God, what are you living for? What is the purpose of life? It is meaningless without Him. Call on Him today if you don’t know Him and then life will be meaningful! Yes, Dear Father in heaven, may those who may be reading this call on Jesus today by the power of Your Holy Spirit and in the authority of Your Son Jesus! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYZw0dfLmLk&t=2s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcmqSfr1ENY
