If you believe in a religion, what do you pursue through that religion?
As a ship drifts with the current if it has no sail, so we become tossed about in the storms of life if we have no goal in life. It is the same in our life of faith: If we have no goal in our religious life, we will drift about.
From the viewpoint of Christianity, the goal of our faith in God is to enter the kingdom of heaven. Then, why do we want to go to heaven?
It's because the kingdom of heaven is our spiritual home where we had been before we were born in this world.
Why are we here on earth and what do we life for?
Where are we from and where are we going?
Many have made every effort to solve this problem. But they have not found the answer yet, because they've tried to solve it through philosophy or theology, without understanding the will of God.
The aged, who are absent from home for long, always long for their home. As there is our physical home, so there is our spiritual home. Our spirits didn't come into existence simultaneously with the birth of our bodies, but already existed in heaven.
By sinning against God, however, our spirits were clothed in the tent of the body like a prison and cast out into the earth.
