My Purpose Of Life

In Christianity, the purpose of this life is to better your relationship with God and to know Him better. This is also proven in Job 22:21 that if you align yourself with God and are in harmony with that relationship that you will receive good things in this world.

The Question of Meaning/Purpose- (Why does mankind exist? Why do I exist?). We exist because God wants us to have a personal relationship with Him, John 17-3. He, as our creator, wants people to believe and follow in the path of Jesus Christ. God created Adam and Eve and wanted them to multiply. Their result of following orders is the world full of people today.

I believe that my purpose in life is to help others, put others before myself, shed love on others and to enjoy the time I have here on this Earth. Achieving my purpose in life will take time, practice, and an extensive amount of education. With my supportive family and friends that have the same views and values as me, I will achieve this goal.

“I believe that the purpose of life is to be happy”-The Dalai Lama. I believe the Dalai Lama’s purpose to hold a certain amount of truth. For me it means to bring this about in the lives of others around me. That the people around me would know they are loved and that they can be content in all situations. That my life would not be self-seeking, but Christ centered.

When people ask what the meaning of life is, they are usually asking an objective value based question. Phrased better: what is the meaning of life, ultimately? But, there are no good answers to metaphysical value based questions. Look at some other value based questions. Why is there something rather than nothing? Why do people have to die? Why does everything change? Why do people and animals suffer? There just simply aren't answers to these questions.

Knowing what is wrong and right, assist us in understand the purpose of life. Life’s purpose for humanity in general and Christians in specific is to worship God. Along with our worship of God, we are to maintain meaningful relationships with other people; including leading them to salvation, work hard and to take care of the earth and what has been given to us. We are to do this so that we can one day join him in heaven and spend eternity with him.

What is the meaning of life? Ah, a question that has pondered the mind of an individual for eons and eons. In a feudal society, it was common to turn to faith and religion to answer such question. Eventually, man became hungry for evidence and truth, thus the Enlightenment was born.

I participate in the church by attending weekend services; attending First Wednesday, which is an intimate gathering of believers for worship and communion; I serve every weekend with the youth, also known as the Next Generation; I participate in our local outreach opportunities; and later this I will be traveling to El Salvador on a mission’s trip as a part of our global impact team. In the two years that I have been attending Community Church, I can see drastic changes in my maturity and spiritual growth, which is evidenced by me attending seminary. While at Community, I am not just being preached to, but I am being taught, equipped, and given the tools I need to grow stronger spiritually. I am able to not only receive what I am being taught, but I am able to apply it to my own life and share it with others. At Community, I am learning how to have a relationship with Christ, how to be a disciple and a witness of Christ, and how to live out the life of freedom that God intended for me to live. Through this ministry, God is truly breaking me out of my shell and helping me to fulfill my

The purpose of life here on earth is to become like our Father in Heaven. Jesus Christ came to earth and taught us the steps we need to fulfill this mission. In 3 Nephi 11:32, he taught,”And this is my doctrine...Father commandeth all men, everywhere, to repent and believe in me. And whoso believeth in me, and is baptized, the same shall be saved; and they are they who shall inherit the kingdom of God.”

In the text  Living to Some Purpose, the author talks about the myth of Sisyphus. He also talks about the French existentialist writer Albert Camu and his views about the myth of Sisyphus, that Camu wrote in his book. He explains how it relates to the meaning of life. There are two ways of looking at the story of Sisyphus; one of them being that all life has no meaning. The only meaning in life is your own satisfaction. Essentially it makes no difference what you do in life, if you feel satisfied, and joyful you’ll be living a fulfilled life. For example; Sisyphus who endlessly pushes the same rock, up the same hill can feel just as satisfied as a man who travels around the world curing diseases because this gives both people the same amount

The purpose of life is to found out why God sent you here and serve him. Figure out the reason why God chose you to be born. God has already chose the path that he wants you to go on and he knows which path you are going to take it is up to you if you decided to

The meaning of life. An age old question which many consider the answer to be unknowable. Yet, it is still the topic of century long discussions. Chinua Achebe stated in a 1994 interview with Eleanor Wachtel, a Canadian broadcaster, that the meaning of life, the purpose, was to struggle . “So that’s my sense of the meaning of life. That’s really how I would put it, that we struggle, and because we struggle, that struggle has to be told, the story of that struggle has to be conveyed to another generation. You have struggle and story, and these two are quite enough for me.” This is our life’s purpose. To fight, and to survive.

“What is my purpose in life?”: it was a question I often asked as I approached adolescence. I desperately searched for an answer and, one fateful day, I found it.

What is the meaning of life? Well known Greek philosphers such as Socrates and Plato believed that our purpose in this life was to gain knowledge in preparation for the next life. Other Philosophers such as Epicurus believed that pleasure is the main goal in life. After giving these ideas lots of thought, I have come to my own conclusion that the true meaning of life is far more complex than either of these; far too complex for any human to fully comprehend. In fact these two different philosophies are only part of the grand picture. If it were that easy for men to figure out our lives wouldn't be so messed up now. The meaning of life revolves around many different things. I

Life as we know it could vanish within seconds. The next day is not promised to anyone that walks on this earth. As we live our everyday lives peacefully, we tend not to think what our mission or purpose in life is. Instead, we think what we must do for that to be a “successful” person. Despite this way of thinking, just think for a second. What makes life meaningful? What is life anyway? These questions dive right into the heart of the philosophical, psychological, and the biological aspects of life and what the true meaning of life is. This is a very arguable topic due to every person’s different perspective on life and what it means to them. In summary, I personally think that life is simply what you make of it and each person’s accomplishments has its own merit
