This is my belief:
We are here so that God can experience God's self.
God is absolute. In this state there are no contradictions and no relativity. Everything is constant, absolute.
There are no temperature fluctuations, for instance. How would you know it's hot, if you never experienced cold? How would you know you're tall, if you never saw someone shorter than you? How would you know love if you never experienced hate or fear?
God knows what God is, but the knowing of a thing and the experiencing of it are two entirely different things. For example you know what ice cream is, but experiencing the taste of it is different (and SO much better) than just intellectually knowing that it is frozen cream and sugar.
God created life as we know it so that God could experience God's self in the world of relativity through us, who are each an individuation of the whole.
God does not judge us for our actions...after this physical incarnation ends we will return to the spiritual dimension and decide if we want to stay or experience another physical incarnation. This is how we serve God.
So, live life with joy and gratitude and take advantage of the chance to fully experience every event that comes your way.

We're here to do meaningful work and to love one-another.
You can take my word for it: I was a philosophy minor at the University of Iowa - a school whose Philosophy Department had the highest suicide rate of any in the big ten.

To worship God through the acceptance of Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, and to spread the gospel or good news of this one and only means of entering the Kingdom of Heaven.

Depends on which God you believe in. If Christianity, love God and love others.

We were created to know, love and to worship God, and to help carry forward an ever-advancing civilization.
