To learn... Perhaps improve on our past attempt.. Perhaps we keep coming back unaware till we get it right and never have to come back..... To learn and to ask questions like you did here....Kep it up and it may be your last visit here..Maybe you get your wings the next time..

I don't believe we have a set purpose except to live. How we live we can decide ourselves. There is no reason to be good and not hurt others just because of fear of an all powerful entity punishing us later on. Rather we should be good and not hurt others simply because we have the intelligence to resist the urge to take something from some one or hurt them. We should also help others not because of an entity but because it give you the feeling that someone else was given happiness because of you.
But this is not to mean that you should be good all the time and never have any fun. You should live everyday as you are going to be dead that night so you can live your life fully in a way that makes you happy and proud. I'm not quite sure if there is an afterlife or continuation so till I get evidence that proves otherwise I will live for the here and now.

God's purpose has not Changed, it is the same purpose that he had in the beginning when he Created the Earth and it's inhabitants: to have a world full of righteous People who would live in Peace and Happiness, without any death or sickness and although Satan tried to turn this purpose to fulfil his own desire to receive worship for himself which he has achieved, in some ways, God's purpose has not Changed, it is what he intends to reestablish his purpose!

A PRAYER Jesus Christ taught shows that a dramatic change is at hand. In his famous Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught us to pray: "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven."-Matthew 6:10, King James Version.
What is God's Kingdom? It is a real government, one that rules from heaven. That is why it is called "the kingdom of the heavens." Jesus, the "Prince of Peace," has been appointed by his Father to be its ruler.-Matthew 10:7; Isaiah 9:6, 7; Psalm72:1-8.
When God's Kingdom comes,

Concerning God's new world, the Bible says: "The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it." (Psalm 37:9-11, 29; Proverbs 2:21, 22) What a glorious time that will be! "Death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore." (Revelation 21:4) Even dead ones will live again, and the entire earth will be transformed into a literal paradise.-Isaiah 11:6-9; 35:1, 2 ; Luke 23:43; Acts 24:15.
To live in God's new world, we must love one another, even as God teaches us to do. (1 Thessalonians 4:9) An Oriental Bible student said: "I look forward to the time when, as the Bible promises, all people will have learned to love one another." And we can be sure that God will keep his promises! "I have even spoken it," he says, "I shall also do it."-Isaiah 46:11.

It is not fate, nor chance, nor luck, nor coincidence that you are breathing at this very moment. You are alive because God wanted to create you! The Bible says, "The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me."
God made you for a reason. He also decided when you would be born and how long you would live. He planned the days of your life in advance, choosing the exact time of your birth and death. The Bible says, "You saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe. Every day was recorded in Your book."
A point to ponder: If there were no God, and everything was a result of random chance, there would be no purpose to your life. It all starts with God.

Original purpose for the universe, world, and individuality: to be separate from the Unmeasurable. New purpose: to use this human form to have a direct experience of the Unmeasurable and realize this separation never occurred.

The essence of your being is unconditional love,you have unity with God in unconditional love within your heart. Go there an experience "that". "God dwells within you as you". your purpose is to express "That".
