Purpose of Man’s Life?

The decision regarding a person’s eternal future will hinge on his use of freedom—whether he used his freedom correctly or misused it. For those who used their freedom correctly, Paradise is their reward. Those who misused their freedom will live in eternal deprivation. Is There A Positive Role of Challenges? In some way or other, all the problems in life are the price of the inappropriate use of freedom. When people misuse their freedom it creates problems for others. On its face, this price seems to be a very high one. However, from God, we have this good news: after death, when the Day of Judgement will come, God will hold one to task only when it was proved that he had misused the freedom he had been given. For whatever other difficulties a person may have faced based on God’s creation plan like the problems that he faced due to the misuse of freedom by others or due to the handicaps that he faced, arrangements will be made for their compensation. This will make it clear that whatever difficulties and hardships he had encountered while on Earth were in line with the demand of justice. A study tells us that a more significant incentive is not ease and comfort for man’s progress but challenge and difficulty. One aspect of this freedom is that it produces competition and challenge, without which no progress is possible. Misuse of freedom leads to problems, and problems are, in a sense, a sort of shock treatment because they can become a means for man’s inner growth. It is only through challenges that we can progress in life. People’s engagement in different kinds of activities with complete freedom, at times, goes against the interests of others.
