If there is an afterlife, what is the purpose of this life?

This life was merely created to weed out the good and bad. We are tested on earth and our reward as well as our punishment is given in the afterlife. This is where we will truly spend eternity and our time here is but a second compared to time spent in the hereafter. The afterlife depending on where you end up serves two very different purposes. Those who lived life following God's word and will spend eternity in Heaven, where they will be given everything there heart desires and more that they cannot even fathom. Those who choose to defy him spend - depending on their transgression – their time in Hell, where I’m sure you can figure out what happens.
