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.

Everyone's purpose is the same, yet different. Each and every human life ever created was brought into being to serve a different and distinct purpose as outlined by God. If I don't find or serve my purpose, will everything fall apart? No. God will work it out. But guess who has lost out. Me.\n\nFulfilling our God given purpose for existing is the only thing that can fill our deepest need.\n\nPlease, read The Purpose Driven Life.  You will be so amazed at the insight that author reveals. \n\nNo one loves you more than your Heavenly Father and no one wants you to find your purpose more than He does.  He will be so excited when you do.

I try to educate people as to God's purpose. His Kingdom, or government as it says in Isaiah 9:6, 7 of the KJV of the Bible, is perfect. I can do nothing to make it better, except to help people, including myself, to be better citizens of it.

There is much more to life than just living day to day. You are not on Earth by accident. There is a purpose for your mortal existence. Your life has a divine purpose. \n\nGod did not send you here without a plan. God, your Heavenly Father, has prepared a marvelous plan for your happiness. It is a plan of eternal salvation. When you realize that God has a plan for you, it is easier to understand why you are on this earth. God wants all of His children to progress and become more like Him. This time on Earth provides opportunities for you to grow and progress. Coming here allows you to: \n\nReceive a physical body. \nExercise agency and learn to choose between good and evil. \nLearn and gain experience that will help you become more like your Heavenly Father and develop divine attributes—like justice, mercy, and love. \n\nBy following our Heavenly Father’s plan, you—like all of His children—can someday return to live with Him and with your loved ones. His plan is designed to bring you, and all His children, greater peace in this life—no matter what its trials—and eternal joy in the life to come. To partake of His plan, Heavenly Father invites you to: \n\nCome to know and love Him and His Son, Jesus Christ. \nLearn to love others as He loves them. \nLearn to choose right over wrong. \nCommit yourself to Him through ordinances such as baptism. \n\nThere are so many voices telling us what to do and how to think that it’s easy to become confused. But your Heavenly Father has not left you to figure everything out alone. \nBy turning to God, you can find answers to your questions and meaning in your life’s experiences, no matter how difficult they may seem. \n\nYou can receive direction from your Heavenly Father in several ways: \n\nPrayer puts you in direct communication with God, who can reveal answers to you. \nThe scriptures contain truth as revealed through God’s prophets. Many people have found answers in the scriptures, and so can you. \nGod has also provided special witnesses in our time called apostles and prophets. Listening to them can give you direction for dealing with life’s challenges. \nGod is the ultimate source of truth. He will never lead you astray. He loves you, and He is anxious to help you as you turn to Him in faith.\n\nIf any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. (James 1:5)\nAsk, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: (Matthew 7:7)

The short answer is that God made you for a purpose. Really this is way too big a question to answer here.  Look at "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren. (If you really want to know)

There is no purpose to life other than to live it to the fullest extent that you wish to live it to.  It's like what is my destiny?  You won't know what the purpose of life is until you figure out what it is for yourself.  GL

I have been a Christian for 18 years, I'm 51 years old. #1 That I could be loved (after years of abuse).#2 That God will be there when you need him. When my vary abusive parents were dying I went home and forgave them and reconciled with them. Believe Me the strength to do that ,came only from GOD. Praise Jesus. I think the purpose in life is to praise God both in spirit and with our lives. Remember the fight is Gods we serve no purpose telling people they are goimg to hell. When the time comes when God wants you to answer questions He will give you the answers. Until then treat every one with love.

One of my favorite verses, and actually one of the two verses that I try to live my life by.  The other being "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all things will then be given to you".\n\nThe verse "he that seeks to keep his life shall lose it, but he that loses his life for my sake, shall find it" means to me....that the more I give up my "rights" in life, the less I go after what I think I want for myself, the more I give up pursuing the things of the "world" and the more I give up my life for Jesus to do with as He pleases...the more "myself" I truly become.\n\nI never have felt more at peace, more my true self, then when I have given up my own will and choices and asked Jesus to guide my every step, thought, word.  Funny, isn't it?  You think by serving yourself you'd get what you want in life.  I've found by serving Him first (which means, putting others first), that's when I've found true happiness and fulfillment.

God made us in His image to communicate with Him because He loves us. We are the highest form of creation and each of us has a purpose and a destiny to do good works for God.  \nThis time on earth is like a valley of learning. (NB. - just "being" is significant if we are "in" Christ).  Everything we do is either "good" works or "dead" (meaningless) works.  So the real meaning of life for us as individuals is to know God, become His friend and be/do what He created us for and glorify Him (give Him praise for everything).  Yielding our lives to Him leads to investing in other peoples's lives and investing in our life hereafter (heaven).  God bless you and I hope you get to know God.  Ask Him to show you how.  Clare.

Practice the Golden Rule. Live your life the best way you can and hope that you are on God's side. That's the traditional interpretation of doing God's work.\n\nThe contemporary view seems to be self-righteous and narrow-minded and try to force other people to live your way.

Totally agree with Schneb, there is a quote here that says "Know yourself in order to know God" \nIt lost all the meaning in translation but I believe you got the point.
