Question: What is God’s purpose for humans?

Scripture: Ge 1:28

Reference in the Enjoy Life Forever book…

Lesson 25 (PDF copy page 103)

What Is God’s Purpose for Us?

The Bible acknowledges that for humans, life is ‘short and filled with trouble.’ (Job 14:1) Is this really what God wants for us? If not, what is his purpose for us? Will it ever be fulfilled? Consider the Bible’s comforting answers.

1. What kind of life does Jehovah want for us?

Jehovah wants us to have the best life possible. When he created the first humans, Adam and Eve, he placed them in a beautiful paradise, the Garden of Eden. Then “God blessed them, and God said to them: ‘Be fruitful and become many, fill the earth and subdue it.’” (Genesis 1:28) Jehovah wanted them to have children, to make the whole earth a paradise, and to take care of the animals. His purpose was for all people to enjoy perfect health and live forever.

Although things did not work out that way, God’s purpose has not changed. (Isaiah 46:10, 11) He still wants obedient humans to live forever in perfect conditions.—Read Revelation 21:3, 4.

Can someone be “in good standing”, but not an “exemplary” publisher or vice versa?

There are those publishers who are “not” in good standing (marked, reproved, etc). There are the majority of publishers who are in good standing and doing God’s will. Then there are those who are “exemplary” in faith and conduct. To be exemplary, the publisher’s life and ministry must be worthy of being an example for others to imitate or follow.

Any special service, Audio or Video, Watchtower Reader, Zoom Host and so on need to be exemplary (not just a good reader or a fine electrician or computer tech).

Something like unilaterally cancelling an engagement may cause one to be “un-exemplary”. It is an entire life of a Christian that is considered.
