Life is a gift from God.
But then, why do people suffer, get sick, and die?
Good news! Suffering has an end.
No more death! Revelation 21:4
No more disabled people! Isaiah 36:6 says: " The lame one will climb up just as a stag does".
No more blindness or deaf! Isaiah 35:5
No one will get sick! Isaiah 33:24
No food shortages! Psalm 72:16
Because of Adam's sin, God sent his son Jesus to the earth to be a ransom sacrifice. Matthew 20:28 says: "to give his soul a ransom in exchange for many".
By means of God's Kingdom, all badness on earth will be removed. Matthew 6:9,10
God's Kingdom will rule the earth with Jesus Christ as King. This will be the only Government for the entire earth.
God's Kingdom will remove all the governments on earth, and it itself will replace all of them. Daniel 2:44
Humans were originally intended to live forever, not to die. God's original purpose for humankind and this earth has not changed. He still intends to have a paradise earth peopled by a perfect human race.
"The meek ones themselves will possess the earth, and they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it."-Psalm 37:11, 29.
Jesus Christ said: "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ." (John 17:3)
The real purpose of life-the one that brings true satisfaction-is living our lives in harmony with God's will.

not sure. Sound so simple but it really isn't. If you believe in God, then you should wonder why he even put us here. Is life a test? maybe, but why should God put us through a test of faith in him where the results can lead to eternal torture or eternal paradise? Why is there a need to be tested? Don't various events in our lives shape who we become, or is it instead lead by free will? I don't really know and ponder this question often because the whole meaning of existence eludes me.
I'm afraid I've only raised more questions.

its depend on you that how u'll feel about u'r life
for me the meaning of life is
: to compete or co-operate with others.
: to protect my family.
: to be without question, or to keep asking questions
: to learn from others' mistakes.
: to try to discover and understand the meaning of life
: to express your self
: to give and receive love
: to understand and follow the "Word of God"
: to have fun
i think its more then enough to express the meaning of life
life is so beautiful might be u saw only dark shades but belive me its have more then 256 colors and all are so nice and beautyfull
the real joy
the real fun
the real love is LIFE
L=Live
I=In
F=Friends
E=forEver

Allah says in the Quran "I have not created Jinn and mankind, except that they worship me"
so it is very clearly stated our whole purpose of life, is to worship the creator. it's as simple as that.

it's so hard to explained in words ...
as "life" is connected to "live" ..
you just have to live the life ...
"as i use finger pointing the moon.., it is the moon that you have to see... beyond the finger ."
