God created human life for this purpose: that the perfect human family would dwell on earth forever in a paradise. That's it. Simple, isn't it? His purpose is for us to live here always with no death, no sickness, no wickedness, no evil, no old age. And all that with absolutely no boredom.
That begs the question: well, why isn't paradise here? And why isn't the human family perfect? Those are two good questions indeed. And there is a satisfying answer to both.

The answer is in the experience of human existence. Otherwise, I say the purpose is to perfect it.

I believe the purpose is to become the best person you can- to try to better yourself, your relationship with God, and your community. If each of us tried to not be so self involved and stopped living only to fulfil our desires, addictions and needs and tried to instead develop our morals, and the good within our selves- we as humans would have a much better exsistance here on earth for whatever short time we are allowed.

All the books ever written have not been able to answer this question. Maybe we will find the answer here.
The purpose of our existence is the same as the bacteria and plants.
This question will never be answered.

TO HAVE JOY
25 Adam fell that men might be; and men care, that they might have joy.
26 And the Messiah cometh in the fulness of time, that he may redeem the children of men from the fall. And because that they are redeemed from the fall they have become free forever, knowing good from evil; to act for themselves and not to be acted upon, save it be by the punishment of the law at the great and last day, according to the commandments which God hath given.
27 Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh; and call things are given them which are expedient unto man. And they are free to choose fliberty and eternal glife, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil; for he seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto himself.

To procreate...same as animals...same as plants...thats it. Anything after you have your children and raise then is purely luck and the intervention of people scared to die that keep prolonging your life. Thats why people get old..their bodies break down and are of no use anymore.

well there are those that saw we are given life because of LOVE, there are others that say we are here because of SIN.
some say that mortality is chance to be "tested" and gain a body which will some day be exalted and resurrected.
but all of us are here because someone had SEX where others say we chose to come here too.
