what is the meaning of life?

Answer 1

What is the meaning of life? The question itself contains a word that is a misnomer. The word "life" should actually read "death" since this existence that we all like to call "life" is really "death." We all reside in the world of the dead, in "Hades" or "Hell," if you will. And of course, the dead know nothing, hence the reason we're continually asking "What is the meaning of life?" Since we're also inquiring of the dead, we get no sure replies.

Those receiving the gift of life and resurrected will no longer have to ask "What is the meaning of life?" Being alive, they also have knowledge and the answer to the question before it's even asked.

Answer 2

The meaning of each persons life is a little bit different for each one of us. We are each unique and have been given different gifts or abilities. The overall meaning of all of our lives is to please God who made each one of us. We can do this by praying to Him which can be asking for help or praising Him for the great things He has done or just talking to Him about what you are thinking about like you would with a best friend. God is the best friend you will ever have. Another way to please Him is by doing good things for others such as spending time befriending someone especially someone who may not have any friends or donating your time and/or money to worthy causes or getting a job where you get to really help people in meaningful ways like being a firefighter, nurses aide, police officer, lay minister

Taking care of other people and having a relationship with God are all that really matter in life. The rest is just filler.

Answer 3

Awareness Loves Life...

A.L.L.

1. The direction of creation
2. The birth of the universe
3. The reason for life
4. An action, not just a description
5. Meaning of everything
6. reason itself

The problem is that because we exist within the dream, Life Loves Awareness (LLA). But if you want to know why God created the universe, its ALL (Awareness Loves Life).

Answer 4

Brian, some of these answers are just childish. The meaning of life is different for everyone. But there are some commonalities. To love one another. To give back, not only to those that have given to you in your life, but also to those who have given to you before you were born. (Let me explain that) Einstein had a theory (among others) that all of the generations before him had contributed to the things he enjoyed in his life and it was his responsibility to pay them back by providing knowledge and innovations for the future. Kind of like paying your way through this life responsibly.
For some the meaning of life is to go to the corners of this world and promote Christianity, or to pursue money, or fame. I believe it is to love and help others. Yes Chirst is the answer for all of life's problems, but sometimes we aren't allowed to know the answer until we meet Him face to face in Heaven then "all will be Made known."

Answer 5

I think the real question is what gives your life meaning, and only you can answer that. Meaning is something that comes from inside of you, it is not an it out there somewhere.

Answer 6

Why are we here? People have long wondered about the meaning of life on earth. They have looked at the star-filled sky. They have admiored a colorfulsunset and the beauty of the countryside. Thinking persons have reasoned that there must be some grand purpose to all these things. But often they have wondered where they fit in.(Psalm8:3,4)
At some time in life most people ask:Are we just to live a short time, get what we can out of life, and then die? Where are we really going? Is there more that we can expect than the brief cycle of birth, life and death? What will help us understand this matter is the answer to the question How did we get here? EVOLUTION OR CREATION?
In some places it is commonly taught that everything we see just happened by itself, that it came about by chance or accident. Over many millions of years, it is said life evolved, or developed from lower forms until finaly humans came into existance. In many parts of the earth this theory of evolution is taught as fact. But is it true that we came from an apelike beast that lived millions of years ago? Did this great universe just come about by accident?
The Bible says: "In the beginning God vreated the heavens and the earth."(Genesis1:1) And the facts of science agree that the heavens with their billions of stars, and our earth had a beginning. They were created. The movements of the stars and the planetsare so regular that even years in advance their position can be determined even years in advance with perfect accuracy. The stars and planets move in the universe according to the laws and principles of mathematics. A professor of mathematics from the University of Cambridge, PDirac, said, in the magazine Scientific American: "One could perhaps describe the situation by saying that God is a mathematician of very high order, and He used very advanced mathematics in constructing the universe."
The Bible states: "Know that Jehovah is God. It is he that has made us, and not we ourselves."(Psalm100:3) Our human body shows such wonderful design that one Bible writer was moved to say to God: "I shal laud you because in a fearinspiring way I am wonderfully made...My bones were not hidden from you when I was made in secret....Your eyes saw even the embryo of me, and all its parts were down in writing." (Psalm139:14-16) Ababy developsinside its mother in a wonderful way. Newsweek magazine said this : "It is quite simply a miracle." Then it added: "No technique can pinpoint the momentous time of conception. No scientist can tell what wonderous forces then take over to develop the organs and myriad of nerve network of a human embryo."
Think about our great universe,, as well as our own body with its wonderful construction and design. Sound reasoning should tell us that these things did not simply evolve or come by themselves. They had to have a Designer, a Creator. Consider other things that we see around us. When you are in your house ask yourself: Did my desk, lamp,bed, chair,table, walls, or even the house itself, evolve? ''or did they need a maker? Of course intelligent persons had to make them! In what way, then, can it be claimed that our much more complex universe and we ourselves did not require a maker? And if God put us here he surely had a reason for doing so.
It was not God's purpose for Adam and Eve to die after a while and live somewhere else. They were to stay here to take care of the earth and all its living things. As the Bible says: God blessed them and God said to them:"Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it,and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth."(Genesis1:28; 2:15) Adam and Eve, as well as all the children they would have, could have been happy on earth forever, doing things that God wanted them to do.
Notice that "God blessed them," He really cared about his earthly children. So as a loving Father he gave them instructions that were for their good. They would have found happiness in obeying them. Jesus knew this and so later said: "Happy are those hearing the word of God and keeping it!"(Luke11:28) Jesus kept God's word. "I always do the things pleasing to him,"he said.(John8:29) This is the key to the very reason we are here. It is to have a full, happy lives by living in harmony with God's will. It will give reall meaning to our lives to serve Jehovah. And by doing so we will be putting ourselves in line to live forever in Paradise earth. (Psalm37:11,29.)
