Claim. The original purpose for the birth of human beings is to become mature and realize an eternal true-love relationship with God as the joyful object partner of His love.
Elaboration. “[God] cannot feel the joy of love by Himself. He needs an object for His love, and desires to receive voluntary love in return. The culmination of all the creation, created to be in the highest position, is man and woman” (2.2. Original purpose for the birth of human beings, 166-131, 1987.6.1). The maturity criterion is explicit: “That purpose requires our becoming mature and realizing a relationship of eternal true love with Him.” Living for oneself fails this purpose at every level — “Could a family sustain itself through those who live only for themselves? They could not form a family of hope. Could a nation sustain itself through them? It could not” (ibid, 57-66, 1972.5.28). The implication: human destiny is doubly relational — love is the what and God-as-object-partner is the whom.
