what is the meaning of life?

Question

what is our purpose. i mean u live for what and then die. sooo what's it all about???

Answer 1

Our purpose is to take these small bits of God that we each are and develop them as independent incarnate beings who are connected to, but distinct from, each other. We develop through the exercise of free will and by reacting to the free will of those who touch our lives.

Our physical bodies separate us into independent beings, but every one of us - and everything - is a portion of the energy of creation, which most people refer to as 'God'. We would not be here if not for God, and God would not exist if not for us; we are connected to this constantly expanding eternal source.

The physicality we undertake in the material plane allows us to develop independence while testing our ability to cope with each other and grow spiritually stronger.

As incarnates, we begin as dark entities who are unaware of the connection we have to 'God' and to others, but gradually, through many lifetimes, we illuminate the darkness within us with the light of wisdom, as we learn perfection.

Although the church corrupted or mistranslated most of his teachings, Jesus clearly taught reincarnation and karma. Rebirth in the literal sense is the basis of Judaism as well as Christianity.

The purpose of your life is greater than your own personal fulfilment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness. If you want to know why you were put on this planet, you must begin with God. You were born by His purpose and for His purpose.

You will not discover your life's meaning by looking within yourself. You have probably tried that already. You did not create yourself so there is no way you can tell yourself what you were created for! If I handed you an invention you had never seen before, you wouldn't know its purpose, and the invention itself would not be able to tell you either. Only the creator or the owner's manual could reveal its purpose.

Answer 3

Worship God follow Him and get out of this world alive.

Paradise is promised to us beleivers and followers: John 3:16-17

All humanity is now involved in a great controversy between Christ and Satan regarding the character of God, His law, and His sovereignty over the universe. This conflict originated in heaven when a created being, endowed with freedom of choice, in self-exaltation became Satan, God's adversary, and led into rebellion a portion of the angels. He introduced the spirit of rebellion into this world when he led Adam and Eve into sin. This human sin resulted in the distortion of the image of God in humanity, the disordering of the created world, and its eventual devastation at the time of the worldwide flood. Observed by the whole creation, this world became the arena of the universal conflict, out of which the God of love will ultimately be vindicated. To assist His people in this controversy, Christ sends the Holy Spirit and the loyal angels to guide, protect, and sustain them in the way of salvation. (Rev. 12:4-9; Isa. 14:12-14; Eze. 28:12-18; Gen. 3; Rom. 1:19-32; 5:12-21; 8:19-22; Gen. 6-8; 2 Peter 3:6; 1 Cor. 4:9; Heb. 1:14.)

This might be the only opportunity to live, to see, to breath, the smell, and to love. Live it has hard as you can, 'cause you don't know if this is the only opportunity you'll get. Life is precious, don't squander it on being bored. If religion is what you love, then go there, if doing drugs is what you enjoy, then have at it. There are no rules, but consequenses. Have fun and enjoy your time.
