What is the purpose of life without God?

This is just one part of my question. My other part is more important. I need help on how NOT to stray from G-d. I love the lord with all of my heart and soul, but I feel terrible for even saying it because I'm not worthy of his love. I am a fool... a terrible piece of garbage who constantly sins against him, but I ask any who believes they're convicted by the holy spirit this evening to share some words of wisdom. As a teenager who's serious about God and spends most of his time against people who're against Christianity, I find it hard to cope. I find it hard because the spirit of the anti-Christ is everywhere. Those who're of the world... those deceived by demons they're so oblivious to the lives they're living, but I... I know, yet I still fall back into the terrible things. This is what's eating at me. God has showed me things some wish they knew, yet what do I do with this knowledge? Disregard it when it's not convenient to the lusts of my flesh. I would rather have not existed, than to die and leave this life behind without knowing that I'm saved by God. There is no purpose but him, yet I still continue to sin. I pray to him to help, but I know for sure that this is a test, and I must persevere. I don't know the mind of the MOST HIGH, but I am willing to not lean onto my own understanding and to trust in him. Still life is such a lie...

Update:

@ Methane Mama, please take no offence in what I say. No one is good, not one person. No one is perfect. Only God is. We're all sinful beings.. all of us. Please don't let demons cloud your judgement.

    Are you really as dangerously unstable as your post suggests?

    So if your faith wavers you will become a severe risk to yourself and perhaps others?

    Seems if you really believe what you posted you have weak faith and seriously need to get some medical help!

    Then seek pastoral help to discover the REAL belief in the loving god and how to act like it!

    The first step is to realize you need both types of help if you believe what you posted!

    I don't know what the purpose of life is, but I can tell you with almost complete certainty that you will not find it on Yahoo answers. Personally, my purpose in life I feel is to enjoy my life with others, have fun with my friends and my family.

    I have nothing against religion but personally I don't fancy the idea of dedicating my life to something that I cant, explain, understand, enjoy, question, reason with or in fact do anything with other than believe in its existence and worship it for that very reason. Even if I did feel a need to do this, I don't think I would go about doing this by living my life by a predetermined set of rules and morals that were somehow originally determined by this same deity. I would likely go about this in exactly the same way as I am already doing, and give thanks for my life by bloody well enjoying it while I still can.

    I mean I don't go into a restaurant, get some good food and then spend my entire time there thanking the chef for making it for me until the food goes, cold, stale and ultimately rather unappetizing. I enjoy the meal, and then perhaps leave a tip at the end as a token of my appreciation.

    Perhaps not the most eloquent analogy but there you go, the purpose of life summarized in a metaphorical restaurant.

    Peace out.

    I really have no idea the answer to this. They have given their lives away for nothing. It is very unsafe, when a large crew of folks are utterly within the manipulate of a small workforce of individuals whatever can happen. I feel indoctrination as a little one gives most youngsters their christianity which they hang to as a part of their cultural security internet. The older `born agains` i might bet, are in general caught by the churches at a `complex` time of their lives and then indoctrinated utilising many unique psychological approaches. We have a psychologist or two in our loved ones, one who specialised a even as ago on `programming` and it really shouldn't be that tricky. I used to be introduced up as a christian and after some be trained I noticed by way of it, but, how on the planet which you can aid these trapped in the evil internet of faith I relatively have no idea. They are too indoctrinated to fully grasp that it is all `********`. You can't give knowledge to individuals if they do not want to gain knowledge of and christianity turns off the `expertise` and `studying` switches at supply after which eliminates the fuse. All you get from them is `Bible says, so it ought to be proper` and they're going to swallow anyones interpretation of those words to give an explanation for the `main issue` of the day, hook, line and sinker. The risk to human lifestyles on our planet that such an enormously good managed non-considering staff could pose is just about unattainable.

    Go to church, and stay plugged in.

    Hang out with others who primarily share your enthusiasm.

    You are very young and the road is long. Pace yourself.

    Stay in the word on a personal level. Read it yourself and be guided by the spirit.

    Do not spend your life stairring into the sky waiting for the return of Christ.

    Live your life and be a light to others.

    Pick your spots to witness and be guided by the spirit. God wants you to live for him.

    Do define you're god.

    All the sinners? What you mean normal people doing normal things to get by? Ok.

    Also you're purpose in life is what you give it. E.g If you think your purpose is to help animals, you go and make that happen. Purpose is not determined by what god you do or do not believe in, and thinking so is just silly.

    There's plenty to life, especially without 'god'. The belief in a god actually holds you back from enjoying this life because you're always waiting for 'the other life'. Fact is, there is no 'other life' after this one. So stop wasting your life.

    first you have to appreciate god. if you truly want to grow closer with God, then dont continue to sin! you dont love god if you love what he hates MORE.

    heres how you experience god.

    deny yourself pleasures. that includes food. try eating food once a day for 3 weeks and use that time you are usually eating food and spend it with God. pray and fast. pray for long time and talk to God, read his word and spend quality time with him

    your time spent will be far more different, and more powerful. you will truly edxperience the love of god, and you will truly witness just how far away god really is.
