1) God created humans as a gift of love. Life is a precious thing, He did that out of love and a wish to share life with others. It is our purpose to share that life and love with others to make this world a better place and to help others develop a meaningful relationship with God.
2) To allow others to be different because we all grow up with totally different circumstances.
3) I have been a Christian since about age 5. I actually "felt" the presence of something greater than myself during a church service and that has stayed with me all 50+ years of my life. I have been member of many different churches as my parents moved frequently before I was in tenth grade. Mom and I would walk to the nearest church if dad was gone with the car either working or fishing so I got a good assortment of teachings while growing up. I have changed opinion on some theologies but through it all my core beliefs have been the same. The differences in Christian churches seem to me to be not all that important. They all teach belief in God, Jesus was His son, and we should use the ten commandments and Jesus as our example. All the rest of church teachings are just humans struggling with what God wants from us.

I think the answer is different for each person. For me, I think my purpose is to be the best parent I can for my kids. When they are grown, my purpose is sure to change. It's not constant for me.
The most important lesson? Actions speak louder than words. There are some very noisy people out there, but their actions are often a contrast to what they say. I have learned to be a quiet observer in many situations.
I don't really know how to answer that, because I have lived through many forms of Christianity. Over time, I have learned different things and changed my mind about hundreds of things. As long as I keep growing, my "religion" will keep evolving with me.

The purpose of life, or at least my life, is to serve and worship God. The most important lesson that God has taught me is to worry about getting the things I need, not the things that I want. I have believed in my religion for over 30 years.

The Word of God says that our purpose of living in God's eyes was to praise Him. That is what I feel to. The most important life lesson I have learned is that nothing in this life is more important than helping someone in need. I have believed in God every since I can remember. May God Bless

In the beginning Adam communed with God an had fellowship with Him. After the fall to get back into right standing with God through His Son Jesus.
The lesson I leaned is God is a just God and you can never out run His love for you whether you believe in Him or not.
Since April of 95

the meaning of life is to glorify God the Father through Jesus the Son.
Most important lesson is to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Do at least one good deed a day.
I have believed since around age 10.

The purpose of life.....is to learn.
To be selfless, compassionate and empathy is the way to true peace
I became Christian when I was about 16. So, about 14 years.

1. To love and serve God or, at least, make an very earnest attempt.
2. That you can not please everyone.
3. 5 years, I was raised as an orthodox Jew and I still hold on to some the traditions involved with that, but I came to my knowledge of Jesus as messiah when I was 16.
