According to a biblical view of humans (biblical anthropology), the ultimate purpose to life, according to Tan, is

• A. To know God and enjoy him forever
• B. To achieve personal success
• C. To live a long life
• D. To accumulate wealth

Answer: (C)

In biblical anthropology, the ultimate purpose of life is to know God and enjoy Him forever. Humans are created for a relationship with their Creator, and true fulfillment comes from communion with Him. Knowing God means relational, experiential engagement—trusting Him, loving Him, and living in alignment with His ways. Enjoying Him captures the delighted, grateful response that flows from that relationship; God is the source of all meaning, joy, and life.

Long life, personal success, or wealth can be blessings within a life oriented toward God, but they are not the final aim. They may accompany a life of faith or reflect God’s generosity, yet they do not define the ultimate purpose of human existence, which centers on a loving relationship with God.
