"Elder, what exactly is the meaning of this life?"
And the Holy Elder replied:
"Who is it?"
Let's get ready for our Homeland!
Heaven!
Paradise!
The whole point is for man to grasp this deeper meaning of life, which is the salvation of the soul! When man believes in God and in the next Life, then he understands that this life is futile and prepares his passport for the next Life!
We forget that we will all leave.
We won't put down roots here...
This life is not for having fun... It is for taking exams and passing on to the next life! That is why our goal must be to prepare ourselves so that we can leave with a clear conscience when God calls us, and fly to Him! ”!
