Life is God's gift to us. What we do with that life is our gift to God.

Life is a gift from God, we didn't do anything to earn it. Some people waste it by selling their bodies, drugs, and do all sort of things that can destroy their lives. Some choose to spend it in prison. Some destroy it by killing themselves/suicide. Some protect it as it should be protected. Some thank God everyday for it. Some just don't know what's "Life".
Our purpose in this world is to help others who need help. As christians we should preach the gospel in any way possible.
We'll all stand in front of God in judgement day for him to ask you "What did you do all ur life".
May God bless you!

This is the way I understand it. Our Creator made this world to
be like a vacation spot for His spirits. So we could enjoy the beauty, and watch the animals play.
Our spirits can bond with things, just like it lives inside a
human body now. CONSIDER. The atoms that make this world
are ALIVE! They move around and stuff! And there is SPACE
in between the particles of an atom.
Supposedly, we stayed around in this dimension too long and
our spirits got trapped here by the forces that create this solid dimension. So at some point, our Creator designed the human
body for our souls to live in. Till we can exercise our Free Will,
and make the conscious effort to get back HOME.
The Book says we are prisoners here, and in captivity. And
in Hebrews 11, it says that the faithful remained true because
they knew that "We are strangers and pilgrims in this world."

God didn't put us here just to indulge ourselves or have a good time (at least in the way you probably mean it). God put us here for a purpose—and that purpose is to live for Him and experience the joy of His presence every day.
The problem is, God wants to be at the center of our lives‐but so do we. We want to run our own lives and be free to do anything we please because we think that must be the path to happiness. But when we live only for ourselves, we find it doesn't bring us happiness after all. In fact, a life of self-indulgence only leads to emptiness. The Bible warns, "There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death" (Proverbs 14:12).
But God has another way for us—His way! It alone is the way of peace, and it alone will bring us true happiness. Not only that, but His path alone will lead us to heaven. What is that way? It is the way of the cross—Christ's cross. On the cross Christ took away all our sins and selfishness, and now He wants to come into our lives and replace them with His love.
Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full" (John 10:10). Turn to Christ today and ask Him to come into your life. Then ask Him to begin changing you from within—and He will, as you yield your life to Him and allow His Word, the Bible, to shape your life every day.

God gave us life because He loves us. Our purpose in this world is to serve others. Blessed be.

i think god gave us freedom and a life on earth so we could find what we really are supposed to do and to find our strengths
i think we all have things we are good at and this life is to find out what we are good at and also what we believe is right
he wants us to be happy and he helps us find out what is right by giving us a choice and letting us fall sometimes but helping us stand back up and find our way again

well we each have our own divine purpose in life. And it's up to us to find out what that is.
He sent us here so that we could learn and grow and one day become like him.

The purpose is to become useful and good.
FAQ: How could a loving God cast people into hell?
"And I have the keys of hell and death, signifies that He alone can save. By "keys" is signified the power of opening and shutting; here the power of opening hell, that man may be brought forth, and of shutting, lest, when he is brought forth, he should enter again. For man is born in evils of all kinds, thus in hell, for evils are hell; he is brought out of it by the Lord, to whom belongs the power of opening it. That by "having the keys of hell and death," is not meant the power of casting into hell, but the power of saving, is because it immediately follows after these words:
Behold, I am alive for ages of ages;
by which is signified that He alone is eternal life (n. 60); and the Lord never casts anyone into hell, but man casts himself. By "keys" is signified the power of opening and shutting, in Revelation also (3:7; 9:1; 20:1; also in Isa. 22:21, 22; in Matt. 16:19; and in Luke 11:52). The power of the Lord is not only over heaven, but also over hell; for hell is kept in order and connection by oppositions against heaven; for which reason, He who rules the one must necessarily rule the other; otherwise man could not be saved; to be saved is to be brought out of hell" (Apocalypse Revealed n. 62).

"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil." (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14)
