Probably the most sought after of life's great mysteries is the answer to the age old question of the meaning of life. The answer is remarkably simple. God created mankind to know him and to worship him. We were put on this earth to carry forward an ever advancing civilization. We are exhorted to unite as one family, end all prejudices and put an end to warfare and strife. God has sent prophets to earth at intervals to guide mankind and to renew laws and ordinances.
