My answer to the immortal question of why we are here is that God is making something out of us. My guess is sentient beings with free will that lives as love just as He does. Why God needs such beings I don’t know.
How do you create a being with freewill that lives as love? My short answer without getting into the freewill problem is the world. If we are paying attention and working with God through the Holy Spirit we will grow slowly toward this type of being. We will become more Christ-like.
It is a painful process. Life is hard and it is hard because through it we are building something beautiful. Without conflict, loss, pain, suffering, injustice and on and on we would not get anywhere. If every ride you took was just easy spinning you would never be able climb a mountain like the Col du Tourmalet. Yea I’m surprised I never made a cycling analogy in one of these blogs before either.
