I think that nobody really knows, with certainty, what God wants us to do. A good thing would be to pray for guidance and follow your concience. For some reason, I feel that after Jesus came on earth, that we are supposed to follow the New Testament and not the Old Testament. I hope this helps.

God, fate or destiny...Something is in store for each of us! Everyone matters...\n\nThere is a Chinese saying, "Heaven does not make useless people"...

Both. God knows what all of our free will decisions will be. He knows us intimately, from before the time we were born. He know the future, even after we are gone. He knows how what we said and did in our lives would affect others. He orchestrates the whole of life. as such, we each have a role to play. He simply is Lord of all, in control of all, the good and the bad.\n\nCase in point, the Exodus story. Several times Pharaoh had it in mind to let the Israelites free. God "hardened" his heart so that he would not, and so the plagues would then continue. Free will, but God controls, and that was Pharaohs role. It is God's will that reigns supreme.\n\nGod could command us to love Him, but that would not be true love on our part. Love must be given freely, of our own free will, to be love. That is our role in life, why He created everyone with a spiritual need and longing for Him. God is love, and He simply wants our love in return. He provided a way for us, through Jesus Christ; the way, truth and life.

Ecclesiastes 12:13 - "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."\n\nThis is what God led Solomon to write about the purpose of life.

God gives us a vision.  What he personally wants us to do and what his will is for us personally.  That is why every true believer has the Holy Spirit, to guide them personally.  Where there is no knowledge of the will of God the people perish.  Part of the will of God is that we keep his law.  Jesus said If you love me keep my commandments.

If you follow Gods plan for your life, and trust Him, your life will be mostly peaceful, and you will be content.\n\nIf, on the other hand, you are like me, and decide to check out what is on the other side of the fence.....things aren't so nice, and getting back across that friggin fence ain't easy.

No one can tell you God's plan for your life.  God will reveal it to you and you alone at a time and place when you seek Him/Her.  It may not be a message you want to hear and it may not contain all the information you need.\n\nBe still and seek it for yourself.

I agree with Fuzzyblueflowers.  As much as I love the Lord there is never a day that I don't have to make a conscience decision about something.  And I mean a decision to follow the world's way or the Lord's.  It is very easy to be sucked in to what the world has to offer.  The Lord calls us to be a peculiar people set apart, in the world not of it. That is not an easy thing.

Both.\n\nWe are predestined for God's glory, meaning God has a plan for every life he created.  This plan is to further his Glory and to perform great things through us.\n\nWe have free will.  We chose if we are to walk this path or choose not too.\n\nSince God exists outside of time, he already knows what is going to happen.  But it is still OUR choice to walk in obedience or walk in the world.

The answer depends on your religious and personal beliefs.  I personally believe our purpose is to improve ourselves and our loved ones in this life and the next.

The world will not go on long in the condition that it is in.  This is the very reason life began and the same reason it will end as we know it.  The Lord is going to fix things how he wants them to be.

God has a plan for you, but what it is only He knows

Jer. 29:11.. "for I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper and not to harm you..to give you a future and a hope"..Sometimes in my life it seems there is no hope for anything. This verse tells me that no matter how bad things get..He has a plan for me and there is a future.

no its living for Jesus and God. Its much better that way. Serving the Lord is all you need to live for. Nothing else.

A1. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength; and love your neighbor as yourself. There are no greater commandments than these. It is our purpouse, and what we were designed for.\nA2. Because the world is messed up. From the time humankind first sinned the world has been in a state of decay, so to live we have to resist that decay (i.e. WORK) in order to, out of the chaos of decay, produce order (food, shelter, video games, etc;). Think second law of thermodynamics, the only way to counter it is orderly input of energy, in this case, through work.
