People are searching, but have you noticed that so many of them find temporal answers to eternal questions?
Most of them don't know God Heir To Christ, they grasp an illusion of other things, and miss the middle target. Like we were told:
Mt 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Its easy to find the wrong way. That's why you test the spirit of all these things, constant, until you have been confirmed in the Holy Spirit. Then, you test all of those who come to you again, that they be not deceiving angels of darkness, made to look like angels of light.
When the Holy Spirit is in your presence, you know it. You drop to your knees most of the time, its a power that nothing in this world holds, and the greatest treasure that you can ever find.

There is in every persn a search for something, at different times and in diverse manners it is more pronounced or asleep in us. At those times is when we feel more in tune with our spiritual centers, true self. Man searches to express himself in that discovery. Some go to great lengths while others wander the earth in search of an unknown answer that they never really comprehend what they are really searching for. In that man sometimes calls it a vacuum, sometimes refer to it as the inner light, the search for the soul but they all mean the same thing - the soul seeking to be found alive and whole in Christ. We may not always find that this is the answer to that emptiness, and truthfully the vacuum or emptiness, is the result of a bent and fallen nature. Man has the perception of the soul that should be perfect - but horribly so is not, and just the opposite. We see a soul that is shattered, an image that is distorted, warped, and out kelter of the inner man, and this is what causes man to search for something to counter that distortion or warpedness to their nature. Only by being born again - born of God can the image be reshaped, reformed, reborn in the image of Christ, a new creation must rise, the old must die, the new must come but it can only happen in Christ as we believe in Him to produce this new creation, and thus we need a infilling agent to keep us alive that is the Spirit of God. so we are not just born of God born of the Spirit we are filled with the Spirit to be agents of the Spirit.

Yes.
The Scripture affirms that Jesus was conceived supernaturally by the Holy Spirit and was born of the Virgin Mary.
However, it does not in any way claim that Jesus was directly God the Father's biological and physical son.
Scriptrues even rejects the notion of the Arabic word for son walad, meaning physical son, for the word ibin, which is the title of relationship.
Jesus is the Son in a symbolic manner designating that He was God the Word who became man in order to save humankind from its sin.
The virgin birth was supernatural as God the Holy Spirit conceived in Mary, without physical relations, Jesus the Messiah.

Some people search because they are not happy with what they have. Others are quite content.
Christ fills no vacuum for many. Many people do not accept jesus as being even partially divine. Many people find fulfillment without having such faith.
Can you be one amongst many that have no faith and find fulfillment? Can you live without that crutch?

I really respect and admire your faith and believes. But you should also be mindful of the strong conviction that other people feel abouth their personal beliefs. If your faith has made you a better person, then you have a lot to be thankful for. Remember that respect and understanding is crucial to being compassionate.

Yes, I know him! “My Lord and my God!” John 20:8
Are you following Jesus?
Jesus said, "His sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice." (John 10:4-5)
Following Jesus means to put Jesus Lord of everything in your life.If there was a computer that could record all of your thoughts and actions, what would it record? How would you like all of your family and friends to watch that recording?
If Jesus is Lord of everything in your life, then you have nothing to hide. On the Day of Judgement, unless you have accepted Jesus, you will have to give an account of your sins before God. If you are not following Jesus, you are following a thief.Jesus said, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." (John 10:10)
The devil is the thief. He often comes in the form of false
teachers and religions who steal, kill, and destroy. The devil
would like you to believe there are many ways to heaven, but
Jesus is the only way.
Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one
comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6

Yes, people constantly strive to fill their lives with meaning. It's just too bad they settle for shallow religious superstition and pat answers.
Jesus, if he existed, is a dead guy. As an atheist, my life is much more fulfilled than I was as a Christian. The world just makes so much more sense.

Yes. Life may be full of its ups and downs, trials and tribulations but beneath it all is a real sense of contentment and satisfaction knowing that I'm one with God through Jesus Christ.

Then why is it that I feel no such emptiness or sense of incompleteness?
