To accomplish the mission which God put you on this earth to do. Pray to the Holy Spirit to show you what this mission is, and how to accomplish it.

God has created each one of us for His divine purpose. The duty of every Christian is to discover God's plan and purpose for his life. This means knowing God and His word, being trained to use the spiritual gifts that He has given us and being transformed in our character to be more like Jesus. Because God has created us He knows all our attibutes and capabilities and is able to give us a calling (be in church - eg a pastor, at home -eg a homemaker, in the community - eg a social worker or marketplace - eg a businessperson) that perfectly suits each one of us. Moreover God empowers us to serve Him and therefore we can serve Him from a position of rest without having to strive. Striving to earn a living is a curse on Adam that Jesus has redeemed us from. So it will a breeze for us to serve God in love, joy, peace and great fruitfulness.

The purpose of life is to explore, experience, create, and question. Anything less is a betrayal not only of yourself, but of those who might benefit from your discoveries and insights.

"Having created the world and all that liveth and moveth therein, He, through the direct operation of His unconstrained and sovereign Will, chose to confer upon man the unique distinction and capacity to know Him and to love Him - a capacity that must needs be regarded as the generating impulse and the primary purpose underlying the whole of creation..."

The sole purpose of life is to eat, keep from being eaten, and reproduce.
Once you have reproduced and your offspring are self sufficent, the only purpose we have is to become food for something else. (lions, tigers, bears, bacteria, ants, worms)

That's like asking how many snowflakes are there. There is no overall purpose.. each person makes their own given their own circumstances and it is unique to them only.

Life is but a string of thoughts
It's up to u to determine
What's good & what's bad
That harms none.
