Using Video Games as an analogy to depict "Life", can give us a better understanding of what life is all about.

Firstly, understand that these games were made by someone. We only purchase them (with an amount determined by the Manufacturer), which still doesn't make us the Manufacturer afterwards.

Same implies to your life!.

You don't own it! (that's why no reason can be justifiable for taking your life. Cos it was never yours).
We can only purchase our life through the "Blood of Jesus" (as determined by the Maker). Which still doesn't make us the owner of our life.

Secondly, Manufacturers of Games, determine how their game should be played. While the Players play according to the imbuement from the Manufacturers, before progressing to the next stage.

This speaks of "Purpose" when relating to your life!.

There is a specific assignment our Maker placed on everyone of us, even before he made us. And it's only through fulfilling the assignment that we can actually make a meaning of our life.
Because that's basically what we were wired and designed to do on earth by our Maker.

Furthermore, Game Manufacturers never intend to make their game easy to play. Because that's what makes the game intriguing.
(Even the "Dual or Vs mood Games" always pair you with an opponent who's there to make sure you don't win).

Obviously, fulfilling purpose in life isn't an easy task!.

But funny enough, that's what makes life interesting.

And apparently, majority of people who died without living (fulfilling purpose), were those who never knew that Life wasn't designed to be easy by the Maker.

Lastly, when a Video Game Player finds difficulties in scaling a stage, and void of a tactics to deploy, he then tries to consult someone who had initially played the game and scaled that stage.
Paul said "Its in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for.. (Ephe. 1:11) MSG.
Indeed, Christ is our anchor, when we talk about purpose.
