ANSWERS: 78
  • To be kind and of help to one another.
  • I disbelieve that there is a purpose. If you look at how matter has come to be in our universe, how our solar system came to be in our galaxy, how our planet came to be in our solar system, how life came to be on this planet you see that these are all chance happenings. It could have quite easily not occured in the way we know it. The problem is that we are the first organisms on this planet that are able to think in such abstract ways. This leads us to think that we are somehow more special than our predocessors. Truth of the matter: We are not any more special, important nor divine. We are the LATEST in a very long line of evolution. There will be many more species of human to follow that will think of us as foolish to even consider the fact that we were special.
  • I wish I knew. I am still trying to work out what my purpose is. To get through life and be reasonably happy while hopefully helping others to be the same?
  • Doing what needs to be done.
  • go to school, get a job, procreate, be an assh@le to your mate, die.
  • Almost unanswerable mate. I think the meaning of life is different for everyone. Existence on the other hand is purely a miracle, (right place, right time type deal)
  • Is to live the way you want it to be.
  • survive long enough to either pass on your knowledge or genes to another generation. Your existence is to learn as much as you can pass it on and then replicate in order to help the human race by allowing the best knowledge and the best genes to pass on to the next generation of species.
  • Im still trying to figure that out. Maybe I'm young. And maybe i'm naive. But I don't see there is a purpose to life. You are ALWAYS going to want something better than what you've already got. Sure, you'll be happy for awhile. But in the end, you are just going to try reaching for something better. Its ongoing. And everyone wants to have youth. Once your youth is gone, you realise how meaninigful life really is. And you start to wonder what will happen after life, nothing? or will you eternally be doomed. And So perhaps, the purpose of life, is simply the decidcision to be faithful to your religion, or to live life before death to the absolute fullest.
  • Agh, I just typed an answer out for this but it failed to submit... I'll just recap my main points then : D ***** Life has two possible areas where purpose can exist: Biologically Metaphysically The biological purpose of life is to reproduce, that is all. Metaphysically, life has no purpose; it is just a state of being. To take that second one further... Life does not have a purpose for us to fulfil (except perhaps those dictated to us by various religions), instead it just has potential - to try and answer your question more directly... Life has no purpose other than that which you choose for it. Life provides you with the potential to do or achieve many great things, or to simply live it out satisfying various desires - do whatever you want; it's your life not anyone else's.
  • Procreation and boobs.
  • We are on earth for a reason. We act as Gods puppets to show him how we act on earth, we must show God that we can live on earth and keep it clean. But so far we aint doin a good job. we will be repeating life over and over until We get it right
  • Be Loving.
  • to reproduce an keep life going an to make things perfect !
  • god was bored.
  • To just live , without complaining :-(
  • We are in this life to learn from others, to teach others what we know, and to learn how to love. Without Love, there can be no purpose.
  • There is no one purpose as I see it. Life is what it is. You can make your own purpose in life though. I would say that my purpose is to make the best of what comes at me, do what I can to make myself and others around me happy and to live in harmony with the world around me.
  • Life as and amazing purpose that is so hard for people to understand. I was given a vision of all of the levels of Heaven. The very top level is not like any of the others. It is not a place, it is an understanding and it is the point that all things are made. It is the oneness with God. At the top level you understand all things. You see the way the worlds are and you understand the Great plan. We are in School but if I told you want we are learning, most of you would not believe me. It is so wonderful that you will find it hard to understand. WE ARE LEARNING TO BE LIKE GOD. We are learning to take care of the small and weak by being small and weak. We are learn the power of love by needing love. We are learning the cost of sin by seening it's effects. The truth is that we are in the best School ever made. The Good new is that you are NOT taken to the top level when you die you are given time to learn more about God. He show you Himself in his works. All the level of Heaven have an order is one is soon to be put in order. I told you it was hard for you to understand. The answer creates questions.
  • There is no purpose. We just have to make the most of it while we live through it. We can opt to create more people who will get as befuddled as us or not. We're supposed to enjoy it too.
  • Perhaps the question should be clarified to say "What is our Creator's purpose for our life?" People obviously have different reasons for themselves for living. Some wealth. Some fame. Some pleasure. Some have none. But if the question was about our Creator's purpose, then it's for us to LEARN how to be happy, but in the eternal perspective, not just for now. It's to learn the universal laws, Gods laws, which result in the greatest state of happiness for the eternities. A person can explain them to you, but you have to learn them from 1st hand experience for them to really stick.

  • Life is the purpose of life. It is a simplicity that has been made complicated.
  • God has a purpose for each of us, individually, in our life. But we can't achieve this until we've given Him the "car keys". In the flesh we think this is restrictive but actually, it is this that fulfills the essence of our life, which brings us the greatest happiness.
  • To appreciate and enjoy it for what it is.
  • To look after my family
  • work, eat, sleep, consume resources, repeat until death
  • To learn. To teach. To grow in wisdom. To help others.
  • To serve Jesus Christ.
  • survive
  • My purpose is redemption. I will succeed in life.
  • Copulation, and to a lesser degree, eat and sleep, encompassed by motivation, kill in the name of the fear to die. *Waves bone* Wooo I just learned how to set things on fire. >_>
  • to live it to the fullist!! i wish i could tell you a better answer than that, but i truley believe that everyones purpose in life is different!
  • To serve God.
  • You were made for God's love and a relationship with Him. You were put here to live for Him and experience the joy of his presence. You were made for God, for His purpose. Everything was made for God's glory. You were planned for God's pleasure. You were formed for God's family. You were created to become like Christ. You were shaped for serving God. You were made for a mission. You were meant to live with Him forever. Life is a Test and a Trust. And life is just preparation for eternity.: 1) YOU WERE MADE FOR GOD'S LOVE AND A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM "God created you to have a relationship with Him so you could enjoy His love." David Gregory, Dinner With A Perfect Stranger. God made you because of his love and in order to express his love to you. You were created for intimacy with God. "God wants you with him. It's why he made you in the first place." And "he wants you to spend all eternity with him in heaven."~Billy Graham "What He is after is *you*--your laughter, your tears, your dreams, your fears, your heart of hearts. He wants *you*. And he has moved heaven and earth to get you." ~The Sacred Romance, by Brent Curtis and John Eldredge You are desired. You are cherished. You are special. You have worth. You are important. You matter. You are God's creation, his masterpiece. You were worth an excrutiating death. You are sought after and pursued. He delights in you and rejoices over you as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride (see verse). You are his beloved.God has set his heart on you (Job 7:17). Nothing can separate you from God's love: "I'm absolutely convinced that nothing--nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable--absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us."~Romans 8:38-39 "The most important truth you will ever discover is that God loves you. He loves you so much that He wants you to spend eternity with Him in heaven."~Billy Graham This is the ultimate demonstration of God's love for you: He died for you. He died a brutal death to have you. He took your place on the cross, paying the penalty of your sins, so you would no longer be separated from him, but would be with him in the intimate relationship you were made for, forever. You can live for eternity in His heavenly kingdom, where "he'll wipe every tear from [your] eyes. Death is gone for good--tears gone, crying gone, pain gone--all the first order of things gone."~Revelation 21:4. "For God loved [you] so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that [if you believe] in him [you] will not perish but [will] have eternal life." John 3:16 God wants you for a close friend. "The Bible says, 'He is a God who is passionate about his relationship with you.' Jesus ends your lonliness: "There is an answer for your loneliness and that is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ." "The most important truth you will ever discover is that God loves you. He loves you so much that He wants you to spend eternity with Him in heaven. Turn to Him today, and by faith ask Christ to come into your life. When we know Christ we are never alone. He is with us, and so are our fellow Christians.."~Billy Graham "You can have a friend who sticks closer than a brother. Jesus Christ can make life joyful, satisfying and glorious to you. ...But you must repent, surrender and commit your heart and life to Christ. Let Him forgive your past sins, and He will take you into His family; He will bring you to the hearth, and you will feel the warmth of the fire. If you are lonely today, I beg you, come to Christ and know the fellowship that He brings. ..."With Christ as your Savior and constant Companion, you, too—although alone—need never be lonely."~The Answer To Loneliness, by Billy Graham 2) YOU WERE PUT HERE TO LIVE FOR HIM AND EXPERIENCE THE JOY OF HIS PRESENCE Someone asked Billy Graham once: "Why did God put us here? I know this seems like a simple question, but sometimes I wonder if my life has any purpose to it, or if I'm just here to have a good time. What do you think?" — M.C. "No, God didn't put us here just to indulge ourselves or have a good time (at least in the way you probably mean it). God put us here for a purpose—and that purpose is to live for Him and experience the joy of His presence every day. "The problem is, God wants to be at the center of our lives--but so do we. We want to run our own lives and be free to do anything we please because we think that must be the path to happiness. But when we live only for ourselves, we find it doesn't bring us happiness after all. In fact, a life of self-indulgence only leads to emptiness. The Bible warns, 'There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death' (Proverbs 14:12). "But God has another way for us—His way! It alone is the way of peace, and it alone will bring us true happiness. Not only that, but His path alone will lead us to heaven. What is that way? It is the way of the cross—Christ's cross. On the cross Christ took away all our sins and selfishness, and now He wants to come into our lives and replace them with His love. "Jesus said, 'I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full' (John 10:10). Turn to Christ today and ask Him to come into your life. Then ask Him to begin changing you from within—and He will, as you yield your life to Him and allow His Word, the Bible, to shape your life every day." 3) YOU WERE MADE FOR GOD, FOR HIS PURPOSE You were made because of God's love and you were made for God, for his purpose. And "your life's purpose fits into a much larger purpose He has designed for eternity." ~Rick Warren. 4) EVERYTHING WAS MADE FOR GOD'S GLORY As Rick Warren describes in his bestselling book, The Purpose Driven Life: Everything was made for His glory. What is God's glory? "God's glory is who God is. It is the essence of his nature, the weight of his importance, the radiance of his splendor, the demonstration of his power, the atmosphere of his presence..the expression of his goodness and all his other qualities." 5) YOU WERE PLANNED FOR GOD'S PLEASURE. "The Lord takes pleasure in His people." Psalm 149:4a (NLT). He delights in you. You bring enjoyment to God. "If you are that important to God, and he considers you valuable enough to keep with him for eternity, what greater significance could you have? You are a child of God [if you have turned to Christ], and you bring pleasure to God like nothing else he has ever created. The Bible says, 'Because of his love God had already decided that through Jesus Christ he would make us his children--this was his pleasure and purpose."~Rick Warren. Part of your purpose is bringing enjoyment to God and living for his pleasure. 6) LIFE IS A TEST AND A TRUST (see The Purpose Driven Life) Life is a test; God continually tests--and developes --your character, faith, obedience, love, integrity, and loyalty. All of life is a test. Everything--even the smallest incident--has significance for your character development. Every second is a growth opportunity to deepen your character, to demonstrate love, or to depend on God. All tests have eternal implications. Life is a trust: Your time on earth and your energy, intelligence, opportunities, relationships, and resources are all gifts from God that he has entrusted to your care and management. At the end of your life you are rewarded according to how well you handled what God entrusted you. Everything you do has eternal implications. 7) YOU WERE FORMED FOR GOD'S FAMILY, 8) YOU WERE CREATED TO BECOME LIKE CHRIST, 9) YOU WERE SHAPED FOR SERVING GOD AND 10) YOU WERE MADE FOR A MISSION. (Read The Purpose Driven Life for more on that...) 11) YOU ARE MEANT TO BE WITH HIM FOREVER "In Eden, we see God's ideal relationship with us: Adam and Eve enjoyed intimate friendship with God. There were no rituals, ceremonies, or religion--just a simple loving relationship between God and the people he created. Unhindered by guilt or fear, Adam and Eve delighted in God, and he delighted in them. "You were made to live in God's continual presence, but after the fall that ideal relationship was lost. "...Then Jesus changed the situation. When he paid for our sins on the cross, the veil in the temple that symbolized our separation from God was split from top to bottom, indicating that direct access to God was once again available. ...We can now approach God at anytime. The Bible says, 'Now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God--all because of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done for us in making us friends of God." You were meant to be with Him forever. "[God] wants you to spend all eternity with him in heaven."~Billy Graham. When you receive Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, you can look forward to your everlasting home in Heaven with Jesus, where "he'll wipe every tear from [your] eyes. Death is gone for good - tears gone, crying gone, pain gone - all the first order of things gone."~Revelation 21:4 You will live forever with God in paradise. JESUS IS THE ANSWER Jesus is what will fill your emptiness. Jesus is what will give your life meaning and purpose. Jesus is what will be the source of fulfilling, unending love. Jesus is what will be the source of contentment in whatever circumstances. Jesus is who will end your loneliness. Jesus is where you find abounding comfort during pain. Jesus is the way to true happiness, peace, and joy. Jesus is what will give you hope and everlasting life in a place where all pain and suffering is gone--and abundant life here on earth. (See http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=dcp466nb_23fnncfncr&hl=en for more on that...) "I have come so that you might have life and have it to the full."~Jesus "Don't turn your back on His love, but by a simple prayer of faith commit your life to Christ today." ~Billy Graham For the steps to peace with God (and a relationship with him), go here: http://www.billygraham.org/SH_StepsToPeace.asp

  • The purpose in life is to pursue happiness, achieve your desires and live YOUR ideal life. Basically, to enjoy and strive for a fullfilled life. An ideal life does not always mean that you're enjoying every minute of it, although enjoying life is a big part of an ideal life. There is enormous fullfillment to be had in striving for your ideals while remaining true to the principles that you believe in - Even in the act of striving there can be joy and fulfillment. There is fulfillment to be had in overcoming the obstacles and challenges that prevent you from enjoying life and realising your full potential as a human being - fulfillment in creating the cicumstances that allow you to enjoy life - creating your ideal world.
  • the purpose of my life is to experience joy
  • i think everyones is different. i think mine is to help others. :) well, thats what i like to do anyways.
  • Certainly procreation is important. But it is also important to learn, and teach others. Learning and teaching are inevitable, whether we consciously do so or not. Just by existing we are providing information to others, and obtaining information for ourselves. I believe whatever we do in life "fulfills" our purpose. The questions is whether we learn what we need to learn. Life is like school, and we are all guaranteed to graduate.
  • At the moment, I am happily free of purpose. But who knows, tomorrow I may think of something and then it will be back to the old guilt grind for not working more assiduously toward it.
  • to help others
  • Raising children is not a purpose of my life, at all. I am, at best, indifferent to kids. My purpose is to make a positive difference in at least one life. If I have done that, I have succeeded.
  • to be honest, to plant seeds, to love, be positive and to give, good question.
  • To be as cynical as possible.
  • The hell if I know and I been trying to find out for the last 20 years.
  • We are here to learn about God and to do his will. The Bible says: “The conclusion of the matter, everything having been heard, is: Fear the true God and keep his commandments. For this is the whole obligation of man.”—Ecclesiastes 12:13. Read the first three chapters of Genesis, Mt 5:5, Rev 21:3,4. The Bible has a consistant answer from the beginning of Genesis through the end of Revelation. Fulfilling God’s Purpose Here is something from the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society from 4/22/1992: God’s original purpose for humankind and this earth has not changed. He still intends to have a paradise earth peopled by a perfect human race. Yet, he has had to make arrangements to overcome the sad effects of the failure of our first parents. Doing God’s will today involves acting in harmony with all these arrangements of God. Happily, the Bible provides a description of the progressive fulfillment of his purpose. We read in the first book of the Bible that God spoke of a “seed” who would come to undo all the harm wreaked by Adam and Eve’s failure to do His will. (Genesis 3:15) In the Christian Greek Scriptures (“New Testament”), we read of the appearance of Jesus Christ as that “seed,” of his sinless life, and of his death at the hands of his enemies. Jesus’ death was, effectively, a sacrifice in our behalf, opening the way for us to regain the eternal life that Adam and Eve lost. (Hebrews 7:26; 9:28) Yes, the Bible says: “Everyone exercising faith in him [will] not be destroyed but have everlasting life.”—John 3:16. And there is more. After his death, Jesus was resurrected as an immortal spirit creature and is now ruling as King of God’s heavenly Kingdom. Soon that Kingdom will act to replace the present earthly governments with a new world society that will take over the management of human affairs. A Bible prophecy promises: “The kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite.”—Daniel 2:44. Afterward, this Kingdom will oversee the delightful activity of restoring Paradise to the earth and raising humankind to perfection. The Bible even speaks of a resurrection of the dead, so that they too can have the opportunity to share in the fulfillment of God’s grand purpose for mankind. (Acts 24:15) Then will be fulfilled the beautiful promise: “The meek ones themselves will possess the earth, and they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.
