What is our purpose?

What is the purpose of mankind? I feel as though every human being asks this question in their heart. Why am I here? What is the point? What am I working towards? The fact is that the purpose that we have is so beyond glorious, yet many even christians don't know what their purpose is. It is simple. We were created by God and for God. (Colossians 1:16) It is not that God is in need of our love or affection, but He enjoys the Trinity so much that He wanted to invited his creation into it as well. God on His own is perfectly satisfied. This is the first thing we must know. But secondly, He delights in revealing himself to us and bringing us pleasure. When we enjoy his pleasure and presence His name is glorified.  This brings us back to the original purpose of mankind; to know God, to be known by Him and to glorify Him in that place.
