If God doesn’t exist, then life is ultimately meaningless.

Certainly we can try to create meaning for our lives by inventing certain projects and purposes to occupy ourselves until out deaths. This will supply a subjective sense of meaning. Ultimately however, those projects and purposes in and of themselves will make no differences in the end and so will not and cannot be a source of ultimate significance for us. When there is no objective purpose, it in due course then makes no difference whether our petty projects are fulfilled or not. It simply supplies us with the illusion of significance and meaning, but like the shuffling of deck chairs on the Titanic, they are inconsequential in light of our fate.

If God does not exist, then we must ultimately live without hope.

If on the other hand, God does in fact exist, then not only does life have meaning and hope, but we can therefore come to know Him, know His Love personally, and all that is greatly given to us in this life. It is with this gift, my children, that I so very much want to believe in God, for I need my children’s love and to give that love back so desperately.
