That is a great question! Most people fluff it off and do not go very deep with it or even think,,,why am I asking the question in the first place? If it was not in us to search for such an elusive answer, where did the question come from?
Our Spirit/Soul is a spark of God here in this Creation to learn lessons and grow to a Perfection. "Be Perfect as your Father in Heaven is Perfect"! Those who have awakened that spark of questioning are looking for deeper understandings.
The Goal of the Life is to Be(come) Divine. That Divinity, GOD, is Everything. We are here to overcome the lure of this world and realize who we really are. Are you only a body? Do you really 'die' when the body stops? Is What I see with my 2 eyes the only real thing? Or is there more? Intuitive, perception, Intelligence beyond mind? Can I really find God?
Yes, but God is not a description or explanation. God is an experience and once you have the experience, You Know. Yes, I know the purpose of Life.

Our purpose in life is to worship God. Eccl. 12:13: "The conclusion of the matter, everything having been heard, is: Fear the true God and keep his commandments. For this is the whole obligation of man." This will bring us the most happiness.
The psalmist David also wrote about the incoming new world and how long it would endure. He foretold: “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.” (Psalm 37:29) That is why Jesus promised: “Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth.”—Matthew 5:5.
What a grand prospect that is, living forever on a paradise earth free from all wickedness, crime, sickness, sorrow, and pain! In the final book of the Bible, God’s prophetic Word summarizes this grand purpose by declaring: “God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” It adds: “And the One seated on the throne said: ‘Look! I am making all things new.’ Also, he says: ‘Write, because these words are faithful and true.’”—Revelation 21:4, 5.
Yes, God has a grand purpose in mind. It will be a new world of righteousness, an eternal paradise, foretold by the One who can and will do what he promises, for his “words are faithful and true.”
Perfect Health, Everlasting Life.
“No resident will say: ‘I am sick.’”—Isaiah 33:24.
“The gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.”—Romans 6:23.
“Everyone exercising faith in him [will] . . . have everlasting life.”—John 3:16.
“You will be with me in Paradise.”—Luke 23:43.
What a marvelous outlook for the future! What real purpose lives can now have when anchored to the solid hope that in God’s new world all of today’s problems will forever be things of the past! “The former things will not be called to mind, neither will they come up into the heart.” (Isaiah 65:17) And how comforting to know that life then will be eternal: “God will actually swallow up death forever.”—Isaiah 25:8.
Do you want to live forever in that Paradise new world now so near? ‘What would I need to do to get God’s favor at this world’s end and live on into his new world?’ you may ask. You need to do what Jesus indicated in a prayer to God: “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.
Therefore, obtain a Bible, and confirm what you have read here. Search out others who study and teach these Bible truths. Break free from hypocritical religions that teach and do things contrary to the Bible. Learn how you, along with millions of others who are already doing God’s will, can share in God’s purpose that humans live forever on a paradise earth. And take to heart what God’s inspired Word declares about the near future: “The world is passing away and so is its desire, but he that does the will of God remains forever.”—1 John 2:17.

There is no purpose to solve, no test, no mystery. The only reason we're here is to experience a physical existence for God, so that we can take the experience forward for the evolution of our souls. Do as much as you can, experience as much as you can and HAVE FUN and enjoy life. That my friend is what it's all about!

Life is a chemical process. You live because that's just the way it works. You live for whatever purpose you choose to.

Our life is our test, and to live happily and to spread happiness is our purpose, to help the less fortunate.

All living things seek pleasure and avoid pain. That is your purpose.
