Life’s Most Important Decision

 During a person’s life there are many fundamental decisions one must make. But is there one decision that is clearly the most important decision of all, which often effects all other decisions? One can investigate many of the critical decisions in one’s life; the choice of friends and acquaintances, the career or occupation one chooses, the selection of a spouse, the location where one lives. These are all crucial decisions for anyone. Each one of these decisions will significantly affect one’s life.

As important to one’s life each of these decisions is to one’s happiness, there is still one decision that is more important and substantive than any of these. It is a decision that will affect all other decisions. It is the paramount, central decision in life. This decision is, “Does one accept the existence of a personal God or not?” The answer that each individual submits for this question will influence all other decisions.

If this decision is so critical to one’s life, then why do so few people spend the time and effort to thoroughly review the issue of God’s existence? God as defined as the omnipotent, eternal, holy, loving being who is creator of all existing things, including humans, either exists or he does not exist? The answer one accepts will be fundamental to who the person is and how he/she lives life. Wandering in a state of uncertainty or lack commitment will provide one with only a groping and unsteady ambivalence in life.

Answer the question, “Does God exists or not?”  If God exists, then one’s life begins its search for the ultimate meaning. If one answers, God does not exist, then the search for an ultimate meaning in life will be fruitless, futile, and doomed to frustration.

One needs to come to terms with this question, “does God exist or not?’ One’s life is at stake; the most important decision one will make.
