The Purpose of Life
Personal Position Statement.

The Purpose of Life is to

Please God!

This means to

a) Love God!

b) Praise God!

c) Thank God!

d) Do the Will of God!
Love others.
Help others.
Repent of sin.
Abstain from sin.

For example, see Mark 12:28-31, Romans 13:8-10, Galatians 3:28, Mark 1:15, Matthew 7:21, and Micah 6:8.

Of course, this immediately presents problems and other questions, as well as decisions to be made on HOW to live out the details of your life.

So, the basic concept for us is:

Our personal purpose of life is to become more like Jesus.
