We observe that when asked about what follows after this life and whether we need to perform certain actions to live in the presence of God, most people are in a state of ignorance.

Most do not have a clear answer or do not think about life after death, living only in the immediate concerns of daily life, without investigating whether God has a higher purpose for us and if there are requirements to reach His presence.

Many others wish to enter the Kingdom of God, but the spiritual values of this kingdom are ignored or perceived as incompatible with their way of life.

Rarely does someone stop to ask what the true purpose of this fleeting life is. However, it is imperative that each of us seeks answers to these existential questions to understand the true purpose of life. It seems that very few realize that to enter the Kingdom of God, we must know and accept God’s purpose for us.

We believe that in this short life we live, it is vital for each of us to deeply understand God’s purpose for humanity and to know the plan He had in mind when He created man. It is important to ask if, according to this divine plan, there is a specific standard we must reach.

Furthermore, we can ask if God has established a selection criterion for admission to eternal life and, if so, how we can discover it. Could there be a guide or a preparation manual to help us in this process? It is also vital to understand what our active role is in fulfilling this standard.

It is necessary to understand that God created man with the intention that he would live eternally in communion with Him. In this context, He shapes and guides us to achieve the divine purpose for which we were created.

This divine endeavor aims to transform us into beings that reflect the qualities of the inhabitants of this heavenly realm. Therefore, the goal is to become, spiritually, full-fledged citizens of this territory, having moral and spiritual qualities similar to theirs.

In the posts that follow, we aim to provide you with some answers to the many existential questions you may have. We hope these answers will inspire you and awaken in you the curiosity to understand the purpose of this life.

We will explore in detail God’s plan, about which, if we are honest, we must admit that most of us know very little. To support our research, we will rely exclusively on texts from the Holy Scripture, which we consider an essential preparation manual and a source of real trust.
