what is the purpose of life?

Question

if you dont believe in god

Answer 1

“Unless you assume a God, the question of life’s purpose is meaningless.” –Bertrand Russell

There is no purpose without God but having no purpose means having no worth because things without purpose also have no worth. We can't stand the thought that our lives are worthless so we invent goals, call them purposes and pretend they're real. Without God, we just do those things that make us feel good about ourselves and/or keep us busy so we won't think about our meaningless existence.

Answer 2

There is no purpose. Just remember, you're just an object. A highly sophisticated object. All the bible-bashers are going to start b*tching, but whatever, you know it's true, God doesn't exist, wake up people.

Answer 3

the purpose of life is to have a wonderful relationship with God through His Son Jesus. yes a relationship between us and God, the same as a husband and wife, mother and children, best friend and best friend. to walk and talk together. to go through life with Jesus by your side.

Here is the best description comes from Oswald Chambers
his August 4th from the daily devotion. My Utemost for His Highest.


THE BRAVE COMRADESHIP OF GOD



"Then He took unto Him the twelve." Luke 18:31

The bravery of God in trusting us! You say - "But He has been unwise to choose me, because there is nothing in me; I am not of any value." That is why He chose you. As long as you think there is something in you, He cannot choose you because you have ends of your own to serve; but if you have let Him bring you to the end of your self-sufficiency then He can choose you to go with Him to Jerusalem, and that will mean the fulfilment of purposes which He does not discuss with you.

We are apt to say that because a man has natural ability, therefore he will make a good Christian. It is not a question of our equipment but of our poverty, not of what we bring with us, but of what God puts into us; not a question of natural virtues of strength of character, knowledge, and experience - all that is of no avail in this matter. The only thing that avails is that we are taken up into the big compelling of God and made His comrades (cf. 1 Cor. 1:26-30). The comradeship of God is made up out of men who know their poverty. He can do nothing with the man who thinks that he is of use to God. As Christians we are not out for our own cause at all, we are out for the cause of God, which can never be our cause. We do not know what God is after, but we have to maintain our relationship with Him whatever happens. We must never allow anything to injure our relationship with God; if it does get injured we must take time and get it put right. The main thing about Christianity is not the work we do, but the relationship we maintain and the atmosphere produced by that relationship. That is all God asks us to look after, and it is the one thing that is being continually assailed.

every day Mr. Chambers speaks of the importance of mainting a relationship with Christ. here is his website.
