Old Catechisms asked , " Why did God make you ? " The answer ; " God made me to know him , to love him and to serve him in this world and to be happy with him forever in the next . " Here , in just 26 words , is the whole reason for our existence . Jesus answered the question even more briefly , " I came so that you might have life and have it more abundantly " [ John 10:10 ] .
God's plan for you is simple , your loving Father wants to give you all good things - especially eternal life . Jesus died on the cross to save us all from sin and the eternal separation from God that sin causes . When he saves us , he makes us part of His Body , which is the Church [ 1 Corint. 12: 27-30 ] . We thus become united with him and with Christians everywhere ( on earth , in heaven , in purgatory ) .
