I think everyone would love one quick short cut answer to the purpose of life in one single easy to read Bible verse. But I believe the reason why God didn't just write a one-line answer, is because you can't sum up our purpose in life in just one sentence. Also, I don't believe that's how God wants us to view our purpose in life - as just one quick moto!
Rather, I believe our purpose in life encompasses many things but mainly to obey all that God calls us to. Remember, God desires our obedience and devotion, more than gifts and offerings.
My advice: our purpose in life is to obey the One who created us and to follow Him wherever He made lead us, whether on a daily basis or our whole life journey. And by obeying God's call, we bring Him glory and see that glory evident in our lives and the world. Isn't that what it's all about? Bringing God all glory through our obedience to His Word!

This is what our purpose is (what God requires of us):
He hath shewed thee, O man, what [is] good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? Micah 6:8
