What is our purpose for living here on this Earth?

It is our destiny, our purpose developed into existence way before we were born. It is encoded in our DNA. We are to be champions, rulers and the exact representation of our designer.
We were planned, all of us before time began. We are not an accident, but purposefully created with every talent and ability to suit a purpose God had before, yes, even before the world began.
Ephesians 1:3-5
3 How we praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we belong to Christ. 4 Long ago, even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. 5 His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. And this gave him great pleasure.
We were purposed to be sons, daughters and family of a perfect Father. We were created for Him to bring Him pleasure and delight. [Revelation 4:11]
We were created in His image, having His likeness... Daddy’s kids. He celebrates over us with singing. We are worth everything to Him. He gets great pleasure from us just because we are.
Our names were written in the His family tree. [Book of Life]
All we had to do is accept His love and believe that He sent His Son, Jesus for us.
John 3:16-17
16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17 God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it.
Just as He expressed everything He had in His heart to say to us through Jesus. He now purposed us to relay the message to the world around us through the image and likeness of Jesus in us.
When we live according to God’s plan and with His characteristics, the world around us begins to sense and know that they too were born with a purpose.
1 John 3:1-2
1 See how very much our heavenly Father loves us, for he allows us to be called his children, and we really are! But the people who belong to this world don’t know God, so they don’t understand that we are his children. 2 Yes, dear friends, we are already God’s children, and we can’t even imagine what we will be like when Christ returns. But we do know that when he comes we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is.
It is Father God’s plan to not leave us feeling like orphans, but dearly loved and accepted.
John 14:18
18 No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you.
Psalm 103:13
13 The Lord is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him.
May all of us come to know His love in a greater way.
