or:The Bible\u2019s answerThe question of the meaning of life may be asked in many ways, such as Why are we here? or Does my life have a purpose? The Bible shows that our purpose in life is to build a friendship with God. Consider some of these fundamental truths that the Bible reveals.God is our Creator. The Bible says: \u201cIt is [God] that has made us, and not we ourselves.\u201d\u2014Psalm 100:3; Revelation 4:11.God has a purpose for everything he creates, including us.\u2014Isaiah 45:18.God created us with a \u201cspiritual need,\u201d which includes the desire to find meaning in life. (Matthew 5:3) He wants us to satisfy that desire.\u2014Psalm 145:16.We fill our spiritual need by building a friendship with God. Although the idea of being God\u2019s friend might seem far-fetched to some, the Bible gives us this encouragement: \u201cDraw close to God, and he will draw close to you.\u201d\u2014James 4:8; 2:23.To become God\u2019s friend, we must live in harmony with his purpose for us. The Bible states this purpose at Ecclesiastes 12:13: \u201cHave reverence for God, and obey his commands, because this is all that we were created for.\u201d\u2014Good News Translation.In the future, we can experience in full God\u2019s original purpose for us when he eliminates suffering and grants everlasting life to his friends, those who worship him.\u2014Psalm 37:10, 11.For further information about God's purpose for the earth and how you can be a part of it, please visit jw.org.
