The Meaning of My Existence and Human Life

I grew up in a Baptist family. Going to church on Sundays was a routine of my childhood. I stopped attending meetings, however, during high school and college years due to various distractions. I went to a graduate school in 1988. In the meantime I started to ask the question about the meaning of human life and examined many reasons for my existence. Through another student on campus I came in contact with the local church in 1989. Though I was initially critical about the noticeable differences in the appearance of “meeting format” between the Baptist and the local churches, I was instantly and deeply attracted by the rich truth shared in the meetings, the genuine fellowship among the believers, and how serious they were in pursuing and loving Christ. There seemed to be an inner assurance in me.

Over the past ten years my appreciation of the local churches and the ministry of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee has grown much more. I can testify that the Lord has really blessed this ministry. This ministry has unveiled much truth in the Bible to me. My questions concerning human existence were satisfactorily answered: my existence is for God’s purpose, to express and represent God on earth. From this ministry I have learned how to experience and enjoy God in a subjective way by turning to and exercising my spirit. The Lord is not only the Savior at my baptism, He is my daily supply. He is supplying and dispensing His life into me so I can live a normal Christian life for the building up of the Body of Christ.

J.H.
