Life's Ultimate Questions Every human being who has ever lived or will ever live has asked, is asking or will ask four basic questions: Who am I? Why am I here? What is wrong with the world? and How can what is wrong be made right? While we may not say them, it is in the soul of every person to wrestle with these questions. Allow me to answer these questions first from the perspective of our culture and then from the perspective of the Bible. ANSWERS FROM OUR CULTURE Who am I? You are an accident. You are a mistake. You are a glorified ape. You are the result of random evolutionary process. That's it. No rhyme. No reason. No purpose. This is the pathetic reality when evolution runs its full course.

Let's now take a look at how God's Word, the Bible, answers these same questions. ANSWERS FROM THE BIBLE Who am I? You cannot figure out who you are until you first discover who Jesus Christ is. Jesus is the image of the invisible God.... by him all things were created...all things were created through him and for him (Colossians 1:15-16). He is the exact representation of God. He is the picture of God in human flesh. He is God on this earth. He is God with us, God among us. The Bible says that I am created by God--in his image and likeness (Genesis 1:26). Not the result of random processes. The Bible says that whether I am tall and beautiful or small and not so handsome, whether my body functions perfectly or is severely deformed, I am t
