神大能的救恩
圣经不仅是一部经典，更是神救恩最明确而清楚地记录。圣经告诉我们，神的福音乃是神的大能，要救一切相信的人（罗一16）。我们的经历也能证明，主的救恩实在是奇妙，不仅要救人出死入生，更要作人的一切，使人得着祂各样的福气。不仅如此，圣经也给我们看见，对于一切前来信靠主耶稣的人，主都能拯救到底，并且保守他们不失脚。我们也实在能见证，主的确把我们从各样的痛苦中拯救出来，使我们得享祂生命的福乐与平安。
人生的虚空
我们每一个人，多多少少都尝过人生的味道。从我们一点的人生经历中，我们实在能体会，人生满了各样的苦楚和伤痛，尤其最令我们感觉伤心悲惨的，就是人生的结局乃是虚空。不管人在这世上具有什么成就，得着什么地位和享受，其最终的结果，仍是虚空的虚空。有的人在功成名就之后，好像对自己所拥有的感到很满意；等到事过境迁，就感觉虚空的虚空。有的人在那里忙忙碌碌，好像很有兴趣；等到忙过，安静的时候，又感觉虚空的虚空。有的人在奋斗、努力时好像很充实；等到完成之后，却感觉虚空的虚空。如同圣经传道书所说的，一切如捉影，如捕风。
我们每一个人都能清楚觉得，在我们最深处有一个虚空的感觉；同时也深深感觉到，有一个莫名其妙的需要。到底人生为什么这样虚空？人生一切事物的结局，为什么会给人一个虚空的感觉？人深处那个需要到底是什么？用简单地话说，人所以觉得虚空，是因为人里面没有神。人生的一切事物所以不能满足人，所以叫人觉得虚空，是因一切的事物并不是人生的意义。唯有神才是人生的真意义；所以，人一旦缺少神，人生就没有意义，自然感觉虚空的虚空。
人生的意义和目的
所谓物各有用，意思是每件东西都各有其特别的用处。无论是电风扇或是麦克风，或是风琴、钢琴，甚或是我们上面悬挂的电灯、下面坐着的椅凳，每一件东西都有其特别的用处。那么请想一想，我们人的用处是什么？到底我们人在宇宙中，是为什么而有的？我们都承认，人生在世，绝不是为着作衣架、作饭囊，穿好吃饱就满足了。我们深深地知道，在我们深处，有一个莫名其妙的感觉；这一个莫名其妙、深深地感觉，就是人生应该有一个更高的意义。然而，到底人生这个更高的意义是什么？许多哲学家穷其一生的工夫研究，并且写了不少的书，想要解答人生的这个问题。然而，经历告诉我们，他们所给的答案，实在不能满足我们里面的要求。

The Vanity of Life – Eccl. 1:2
God’s Powerful Salvation
The Bible is not merely a classic; it is the most explicit and clear record of God’s salvation. The Bible tells us that the gospel of God is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes (Rom. 1:16). Our experiences also confirm that the Lord’s salvation is truly wondrous. It not only saves people to pass out of death into life but also becomes everything to them, allowing them to receive all kinds of blessings from Him. Furthermore, the Bible reveals that for all who come to trust in the Lord Jesus, He is able to save them forever and keep them from stumbling. We can indeed testify that the Lord has delivered us from all kinds of suffering, granting us the joy, blessing, and peace of His life.
The Vanity of Life
Each of us, to some extent, has tasted the flavor of life. From even a bit of life experience, we can deeply feel that life is filled with various sorrows and pains. The most heartbreaking and tragic reality, however, is that the end of life is vanity. No matter what accomplishments, status or pleasures one attains in this world, the ultimate result remains vanity of vanities. Some people, after achieving great success, seem satisfied with what they have. Yet when the moment passes, they feel vanity of vanities. Some are busy and appear deeply engaged in their activities, but when the busyness is over, in moments of quiet, they feel vanity of vanities. Others, while striving and working hard, seem fulfilled, but upon accomplishing their goals, they too feel vanity of vanities. As the Bible says in Ecclesiastes, all is like chasing shadows or grasping the wind.
We can all distinctly sense a void deep within us, along with an inexplicable need. Why is life so vanity? Why does everything in life leave us with a feeling of emptiness? What exactly is that deep need within us? Simply put, the reason people feel empty is that they lack God within. The reason life’s matters cannot satisfy and leave people feeling empty is that they are not the true meaning of life. Only God is the true meaning of life. Therefore, when a person lacks God, life has no meaning, and naturally, they feel vanity of vanities.
The Meaning and Purpose of Life
The phrase “everything has its use” implies that every object has a specific purpose. Whether it’s an electric fan, a microphone, an organ, a piano, the lights above us, or the chairs we sit on, each item serves a particular function. Now, let us consider: what is the purpose of human beings? Why do we exist in the universe? We all agree that life is not about being a clothes rack or a food container, satisfied merely by dressing well and eating our fill. Deep within, we sense an indescribable feeling – this mysterious, profound feeling tells us that life ought to have a higher meaning. But what is this higher meaning of life? Many philosophers have spent their entire lives researching this question, writing numerous books to answer it. Yet, experience shows that their answers fail to satisfy the deep requirements of our inner being.
