What is the purpose of life?

The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

    I love the passage from Proverbs which answers this question very clearly. It goes “In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death.” It is clear that there is more to life than just existing, and definitely more to life that mere selfish indulgence, however pleasurable it may appear. The so-called pleasure of selfishness ends quickly, it can never be satisfied. The joy of serving as God directs is something that settles well in the heart, satisfies the soul, and is the recipe for life. This is the Life that is God and is shown forth in man, and carries with is an energy unseen by the physical senses, and is upheld by the Almighty Himself.
