Purpose of life

Some days in school, you can learn nothing what so ever or be teach something you already know (most days) and sometimes you can learn somethings total new, so I could say today was my lucky day. R.E. can be a lesson which you could really hate or really love. Today the ever wondered topic came up, What's the Purpose of life.

Our Spidergraphical teacher (crazy about spider diagrams) got us to think as a class of the purpose of life taking things from what we think and from the bible, we cam up with things like :

To live and enjoy it
This could be applied in many different ways, could be a reference to free will, doing what ever ou want to do. Also could be that you have given your life to God and you are living the way you want to and are enjoying it and this is what being a christian should be like.

Life is a test
Sort of like when you take a very important test example, GCSE and A Levels, you don't get to take the test again if you did really badly. In life you come across situations where you only have one chance and if you mess it up; if your lucky you can do it again or get something out of it. As well as a test before you go to heaven,

Carry on Humanity
In the bible in Genesis 1: 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. (New International Version). So one of the purposes of life is to go and have sex and have a baby. Other whys if humanity didn't continue then population of the world would get smaller and smaller. But another issue comes into this, if we carry on humnaity the we should also be looking after the planet so in the future people would not needed to suffer as bad as us now.

To know God Prepare for heaven.
To be given the chance to know god in day to day life by going to church and in school. A big choice for someone to go to and give there life up for someone but a strong arguement to that is that Jesus, son of God gave this life up to save us from sin, it's the case of do you believe this.
