Answer 1

"I believe that the very purpose of our life is to seek happiness. That is clear. Whether one believes in religion or not, whether one believes in this religion or that religion, we all are seeking something better in life. So, I think, the very motion of our life is towards happiness..."

-Dalai Lama

Answer 2

The purpose of life is to come to a true understanding of the principles of happiness.

Prior to birth we lived as spirit children of a Heavenly Father. For our growth and development this earth was prepared with conditions such that we would be exposed to competing philosophies and the results of following those philosophies. God can and does tell us what's right, although in the midst of other voices competing for our attention. In addition, there's a big difference between being told and experiencing what happens when people make both good and bad choices. These conditions are all designed for our growth.

For example, I tell my children not to lie. I hope they'll obey, but they are more likely to understand why honesty is so important if they experience what happens when a relationship is damaged through dishonesty. Hopefully they'll learn this without having to make all the mistakes themselves.

After death we continue this growth and development. The opportunities for hearing about God or truth in general vary greatly. I suspect this has to do with God's knowledge about what individuals need what types of lessons, but I'm confident it's all for our benefit.

We currently live at a time when authoritative answers to these questions are available. There's additional information including some short videos at the listed web site in case you're interested in a more complete explanation.

Answer 3

this is a question that everyone is trying to answer for years and years. I think the purpose of life is to leave with most knowledge and understanding as possible. To know everything in this life and get ready for the next. weird?

Answer 4

in this life we help spread the gospel and help get people saved, we also set a good christian example for others to follow. By doing this we will get a heavenly reward and be with the Lord in Heaven forever and ever. Amen

However the people that live their life's foolishly, for themselves, and are not saved will be eternally in Hell!

read Ephesians 5:15-16 which pretty much sums up your question

Answer 5

We should worship only ONE God and not associate any partners with Him. We should praise Him and do any many good deeds as we can. We should abstain from doing bad deeds/sins. The Holy Qur'an is your best source for understanding the purpose of life. Also, the teachings of the last prophet of God, Muhammad (peace be upon him) are perfect examples of how we should live our lives to the fullest.

Answer 6

That is for each of us to find.
Only you can find iyour own purpose in life.
But some people will look for it for their entire life and never find it.
Never knowing it was right there infront of them.

Answer 9

I don't believe there is a one size fits all purpose to life. Others may disagree and offer answers, but still others will disagree with them. Philosophy runs in circles.
