Understanding our ultimate purpose helps us determine what our focus should be. We cannot play a successful game without knowing the goal, nor can we live a meaningful life without knowing its purpose. One of the great blessings of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ is that it answers, among other things, the question “What is the purpose of life?” “Our purpose in this life is to have joy and prepare to return to God’s presence.”8 Remembering that we are here on earth to prepare to return to live with God helps us focus on the things that lead us to Christ. – Alvin F. Meredith III, “Look down the Road,” Ensign (CR) November 2021
