What is the purpose of life? Very simple, you will never be satisfied until you enter a relationship with your Creator. Your heart is restless in its pursuit of a god – some “noble” gods (good causes, loved ones) and some bad gods (selfishness, money). But the true God has wired all humanity to find true peace, happiness, hope and identity in Him alone. It’s His built-in safeguard for us to avoid idolatry and second-rate pleasures.
