meaning and purpose of life

• Ecclesiastes 9:5-6

  “For the living know that they will die,

  but the dead know nothing;

  there is no further reward,

  and even their name is forgotten.

  their love, their hate

  and their jealously have long since vanished;

  never again will they have a part

  in anything that happens under the sun.”
• Ecclesiastes 9:7-9

  “Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, god has already approved what you do. Always be clothed in white, and always anoint your head with oil. Enjoy life with your wife whom you love, all the days of this meaningless life that god has given you under the sun - all your meaningless days. for this is your lot in life, and in your toilsome labour under the sun.”
• Genisis 1:26-28

  “Then god said “let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground“

  so god created mankind In his own image,

  in the image of god he created them;

  male and female he created them.

  god blessed them and said to them “be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground””
