What is the Purpose of Life?

Everyone may have their own idea of what the purpose of life is, but from a Christian's perspective, the meaning of life was given to us by God. Our purpose in life is to develop a personal relationship with God and to do his will in our own life, which is following the Word of God. Our time on earth is very short, so this is the time that we decide what path we will take; the path of death leading to eternal suffering, or the path of life, leading to heaven.
