The God we believe in is the true God who created all things. Other religions are about people seeking god when they are in trouble, trying to find answers while struggling in the cycle of life. Christianity is the only faith where God was not found by people. Genesis 1:1 starts clearly with this declaration: "In the beginning God create the heaven and the earth." Since God is the master who created heaven and earth, He must have a plan, and therefore people are living on earth for a good reason, and our lives are not just like lights that go out when we die. In other word, it is not a coincidence that you are in the world; God has a plan for you and goals for your life. Many people cannot find meaning in their lives because they gone away from Lord the Creator. If a table has gone away from the carpenter, it would not know why it was created. Can it be used as a chair? Maybe, but it won't be very ideal or comfortable. A creature can only find the purpose for its creation by coming to the creator, the Lord who gives us meaning in life; we can only find such significance and our true identity through connecting to Him.
The Bible tells us not to worship idol, because idols are made by human beings, but true God is the only who created human beings. Many have been living under the bondage of fear from idol worshipping, and that why the Chinese has saying that we need to respect gods and ghosts but keep a distance from them; in Chinese traditional belief, we cannot be near a god. But our God is different because He is love, and our Lord will never abandon us. No matter what the circumstance is, He has a plan for us. You, therefore, could not have been born in the wrong place, at the wrong time or under the wrong circumstance; you are now exactly where God wants you to be. Since God is the savior who created us, we ought to live daily for our creator, loving Lord and redeemer, and that our live will certainly become meaningful.
