What is God's purpose for us?
491190
Life is a test. God puts us on this earth to see how we will stand up to trials and testing. God wants to see how we develop our character, and He wants to see how we develop in Christ. God has a purpose for each and every one of us, and it differs from person to person. It depends on the strengths and giftings that He has given us. It is important to note that our purpose here will never be boring! God knows our interests, He created them! And He will use them to accomplish His purpose! He has something fun and exciting stored up for each and every one of us! So, our main purpose  is to obtain Christ like character, that is, become like Jesus. However, in terms of your individual purpose, think about the thing that you are most passionate about. My passion is working with children, and I know that my purpose in life is to teach the little ones about the love of Christ. I told you this as an example, so you can begin to think about yours. Pray about it, get into the Word, meditate on it. The answer will come to you in due time. Remember, this will be God's timing, not yours. God's timing is not always in line with ours, so be patient and wait for Him. Trust Him, He will reveal it to you. God bless!\n\nHere is a book that I recommend you read: The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. It will give you a sense of where you need to go. Great book!

What is the purpose of life? \n\nHave you ever thought there must be something more to life than just living day to day? \nThere is—much more. Your life has a divine purpose. \n\nGod, your Heavenly Father, has prepared a marvelous plan for your happiness. 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. \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. You can have greater peace in this life and eternal joy in the life to come. \n  \n \nWhere did I come from? \n\nYou didn’t suddenly spring into existence the moment you were born. \nYou were happy in Heavenly Father’s presence, but He knew that you needed more in order to progress. You did not have a physical body like you do now, and you needed a chance to gain experience on your own—away from His presence, but with the ability to communicate with Him and receive help. So He sent you to Earth, hoping that you would return to Him and receive everything He has to offer you. \n\nBefore you were born, you lived with your Heavenly Father as one of His beloved spirit children. You knew and loved Him, and He knew and loved you. \n\nAlthough you have forgotten your life before you were born, your Heavenly Father has not. He knows you and loves you. He wants you to come to know and love Him, too.\n  \n \nWhy am I here on Earth? \n\nYou are not on Earth by accident. There is a purpose for your mortal existence. You are here to receive a physical body, gain experience, and develop divine attributes—like justice, mercy, and love. \nGod did not send you here without a plan. 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. It is a plan of eternal salvation and happiness. \n\nTo 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\nHow can I find direction in my life? \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\nThe plan of salvation \n\nYou lived with your Heavenly Father as one of His spirit children before you began your life on Earth. You were happy there, but God knew that you could not continue to progress unless you left Him for a time. \nSo He presented His plan—the plan of salvation. It allowed you to come to Earth, where you would gain a physical body and would have experiences that would help you to learn and grow. The purpose of the plan is to help you become more like Him. \n\nHeavenly Father knew that while you were on Earth you would

The meaning of life is to fufill your purpose. It could be encouraging people, or finding a cure that could save millions of lives. But the ultimate goal is to tell the world about Jesus Christ, and that all who call upon His name will be saved. Find a cool church/youth group and speak with a hard-core Bible believin' Jesus freak (like myself) if you wanna know more about it... OR feel free to talk to me! Take Care!

I believe the Christian church as a whole is still fulfilling her purpose, but our Saviour will be returning soon to take her home. If you study God's word you will see many signs are being fulfilled. Remember, disasters, violence and evil acts have occurred almost as long as Man has been on Earth, but the frequency and intensity of these events is increasing-like a woman's labor pains just before she gives birth. \nHas God's purpose been fulfilled in YOUR life and mine?-that is the real question. Each of us can be a blessing to someone else, perhaps to many people-and those lives will touch others too. This is called the ripple effect, because one little pebble tossed in a pond results in bigger and bigger rings till the whole pond has been affected. \nGod bless you as you seek His face about His purpose for your life is. "I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me in earnest, you will find me when you seek me. I will be found by you," says the LORD. Jeremiah 29:11\nSee also IITimothy 3:1-5 and Matthew 24 for signs of the times.

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.

I'd say the purpose of life is to live it well, advance as a civilization, & keep it going.  That's what we're always trying to do.

To give life.\n\nThe Meaning of Life is the answer to this question:\n\nGod, what is Your purpose of Existence?\n\nFor God's purpose of Existence itself defines the purpose of all that exists.\n\nI asked God that question...\n\nGod answered, "My purpose of Existence is To give life. Since you are made in My image after My likeness, then YOUR purpose of existence is to give life."\n\nEverything that exists is an expression of God's thinking; thus, everything reflects God's thinking.\n\nGod gives life by His unique existence, and receives life when He gives life. All of existence gives life by its unique existence to that which receives life from its unique existence. This is Nature - the union of all living (eternal) things.\n\nYou are here to give life by your unique existence to that which receives life from your unique existence. So do what you love that nourishes those who love what you love.\n\nThis is your purpose.

According to the Word of God, we love Him because he first loved us. I would hope that is your motive.

God created us for Himself. God wants us to choose to love Him and worship Him.

Everyone needs God. But God gave us a choice on who to serve. Him or Satan. People say God gives us free will, but not so. The inly will God gives us is His holy word. The Bible. That is the will for us. the devil doesn't have a will. Therefore whoever follows him will be doomed for eternal damnation. That's why it is important to hold to God and serve him. He is the only one who sticks closer than a friend, brother, mother, father, cousin, aunt, teacher or anybody else. He's there in the good times and the bad times. He'll never leave you or forsake you. God can\ndo more than what other man made gods can't do.

Don't know, I've been asking myself the same question everyday. I guess it is up to us to discover that on our own by living and looking for what our purpose is.

Which God? We were created for worship. All of us worship something. Most of us create our own gods or even make ourselves gods. Our Creator, God, who sent His Son, Jesus, to die for us... Specifies there is only one way. The gate is narrow and few there are that find it.
