My Purpose In Life: My Reality Of Spirituality

My reality is my spirituality. My purpose in life is to glorify God and to serve others. I believe we live in a world in great tension between good and evil. This tension has become our reality. As Christians, we constantly fight evil and resist the temptations of the devil. God provides us with many opportunities and tools to resist evil. Jesus overcame evil with the sacrifice He made on the cross. As Christians, we are also able to overcome evil with good and live for God. I live in this reality throughout all aspects of my life. I believe it is important to live for God and surrender all things to Him. There are many aspects of philosophy which support this view as well. These philosophical principles shed light on the reality of a world …show more content…
In this world there are many aspects of life. Within this life, we have work, sports, relationships, education, play, and many more things. I believe my reality of spirituality can be related to all of these things. I am a baseball player, and I play baseball to glorify God. Although baseball does not have anything to do with God, I play for God because God is part of my personal ontology, which is involved in all things in my life. Throughout baseball, my strength, ability, and rewards are all dedicated to God because He created me and gave me the talent to play. Baseball also allows me to reach other people whom I would not relate with other than baseball. Because of this, I have the opportunity to share with others about the grace and love of God. I work at a Yacht Club as a Buss person. My work has no affiliations with religion, yet I represent Christ and talk about Him nearly every time I am there. This is true because God is a large part of my life and glorifying Him is my purpose. Within work, I tell others about the great works, sacrifice, and loving acts that God does. This opportunity allows me to share my reality with others. I am in a relationship with a girl, and the essence of the relationship does not require any affiliation with God. Nevertheless, I have dedicated that relationship to God. God created us to be in union with one another, and as we grow closer to God, we will grow …show more content…
Within spirituality, there are beautiful aesthetics which point to a life of joy. Aesthetics are defined as a set of principles concerned with the nature and appreciation of beauty. Through the psychological view of aesthetics, Christianity shows beauty in many ways. Within Christianity, there are many aspects of love which is beautiful in nature. God’s love for us is always faithful even when we are not. Although this is not physical, the essence of this love is beautiful because of the selflessness and dedication. This outlook gives a more optimistic view of life by highlighting the joys and good parts of God. Sadly, many people have the Deist view of “moral influence” and are ignorant of the love which God provides. Another aspect of Philosophy which concurs with my view of reality is the Neoplatonism’s view of God. They believe God is the source of everything. Similarly, I believe God created all things and all things are His. God is the almighty creator of this world and I surrender all things to Him. They also believe that we cannot fill the void with finite things. I believe that we must live in the reality that good is fighting evil and choose a side. Once we chose a side, it is essential for us to be dedicated to that side, in this case, to God. Also, St. Thomas Aquinas’s five proofs for God’s existence exemplify the truth that God is real and He is the creator of all. This is also a rationalist
