One of the mysteries of life is why we exist. Many people have pondered at this question for thousands of years, hoping that someday someone will figure it all out. But no Plato, Ghandi, or Confucious could figure it out. Only the one who created us can know this matter. Then, "why are we here on earth? What is the meaning of this life?" Haven't YOU wanted to know this? Then lets see what the bible says about us.
Ecclesiastes 12:7-- "and the dust returns to the ground where it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it." According to the bible, our spirit returns to God who is in Heaven. "Returns" means to go back to a former place. Our spirits are from heaven, not from this earth like everyone thinks. Let see more.
Hebrews 11:13 "All these people (Abraham, Isaac, Noah, Enoch, Abel...) were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth. People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had the opportunity to return. Instead they were longing for a better country--a heavenly one."
These people were longing for their true country, the Kingdom of Heaven. And while they lived on this earth, they admitted that they were strangers and foreigners. But not only these people are from the Kingdom of Heaven, but everyone as well.
Without knowing where we are from, how can we know where we are going? How can we want to know more about something we don't know anything about. Most people never thought that we were from another place, spiritually. But the bible tells us that we are, and that we should long to return there.
During our life, God has come to this earth to take us back to our spiritual home, Kingdom of Heaven. Christ Ahnsahnghong revealed this wonderful truth through the bible. He taught us that our true home is in heaven where there is no pain, sorrow, crying or death.
Wouldn't you want to go to a place like this?

Ecclesiastes 12:7-- "and the dust returns to the ground where it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it."
when a man dies, his body and spirit separate and each of them returns to where it came from. Here 'to return' means ' to go back to a former place where one came from.' Since the bible says that our body returns to the ground and our spirit returns to God. it is clearly testify that our spirit had been with God in heaven before we came down to this earth. In other words, we were heavenly angels. many verses testify to this fact. now, let's confirm this through the word of the Bible.(Pr 8:22,Job 38:1-4,21)
God bless you~!! ^^
