Actually, the cosmos, is created by GOD, those every one know. God is created we to show he is the almighty of whole universe. So, what you all think?

Things don't last forever, per the allo-pervasive 2nd Law (entropy), we are all doomed to utter annihilation. It's an astronomical certainty that our sun will super nova and turn the earth into a burnt crisp. So how does that knowledge give us any meaning to life.
We can only attibute temporary meanings to life, all else is lost to oblivion. The belief in a supernatural being will comfort you from harsh reality...if you can't face objective reality, continue to believe in the supernatural....

Hoof and horn, hoof and horn
All that dies shall be reborn.
Corn and grain, corn and grain
All that falls shall rise again.
If there was no death, the planet would quickly fill with life, and become one miserable mass of life. Then death would have to come, because there would be only the food of the mass of living tissue to feed the mass of living tissue, and it would feed on itself. Perhaps this scenario has been played out on one or more planets, but I doubt it: it is generally dead tissue (plant or animal) which is food for living tissue.
There is a circle of life. It is real. The food chain is a complete circle. Whales make it obvious: the largest creature feeds on one of the smallest, krill. What this setup has to do with our understanding of God (or Goddess) is another story. To me, all that is part of nature is set by Mother Nature, a conscious entity which may or may not be exactly the same as Mother Earth.
But to what extent this is a metaphor, with the reality being somewhat more complicated, I could not say. Even if I knew, I could not say: that is the nature of metaphor and symbolism. It fills in where our language does not have the subtlety to express a truth any other way.

You are not going to like this but for me your question is a biological one. Death is necessary for things to evolve. There are some single celled creatures from the dawn of life that are effectively immortal, but they have not, as a result evolved.
It may be possible for life on other planets to have found a way to remain immortal and also to continue to evolve.
As for the second half of your question this is more philosophical. Your own answer appears to be that the meaning of living is to acknowledge the authority of God and to serve Him. Theology is a popular branch of Philosophy, so your answer is a legitimate one. I totally agree with it, where God means the true inner self.

death is just a natural part of life, so every living thing must eventually die
the actual meaning of life is to experience the here and now,
and think/ feel in new and different ways
God intended us to live life to the fullest so that when we die we may know a new life in him
my advice- live, learn, and love always
