The question of the meaning of life may be asked in many ways, such as Why are we here? or Does my life have a purpose? The Bible shows that our purpose in life is to build a friendship with God. Consider some of these fundamental truths that the Bible reveals:

-- God is our Creator. The Bible says at Psalm 100:3 that 'Know that Jehovah is God. He is the one who made us, and we belong to him. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture.' It is God that has made us, and not we ourselves.​

--- God has a purpose for everything he creates, including us. Isaiah 45:18 says in part "For this is what Jehovah says, The Creator of the heavens, the true God, the One who formed the earth, its Maker who firmly established it, who did not create it simply for nothing but formed it to be inhabited."

---God created us with a “spiritual need,” which includes the desire to find meaning in life. (Matthew 5:3). He wants us to satisfy that desire (Psalm 145:16.)

---We fill our spiritual need by building a friendship with God. Although the idea of being God’s friend might seem difficult to some, the Bible gives us this encouragement: “Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you.”​ which is at James 4:8.

To become God’s friend, we must live in harmony with his purpose for us. The Bible states this purpose at Ecclesiastes 12:13 (Good News Translation) “Have reverence for God, and obey his commands, because this is all that we were created for.”​

So, from what the Bible says about this subject matter. Life does have great meaning for humans. We were created for something good by our creator. The last verse cited above had already stated that purpose and if we comply, we will live forever

The meaning of life is whatever meaning you give to it. Life can be meaningless actually.
Every individual I'd trying to survive, the strong prey on the weak and it continues like that. Nothing more.

Life is not meaningless. You might view life as worthless due to personal situations you might be passing through,but in reality, we were created for a reason as Ecclesiastes 12:13 states.
