This document discusses identity, purpose, and destiny from a Christian perspective. It summarizes that one's identity is that they are God-breathed (Genesis 2:7). Their purpose is that they were created for God's glory through relationship (Genesis 1:26-27, 2:18). Their destiny is that they will rise with Jesus Christ and there will be a new heaven and new earth (1 Corinthians 15, Job 19, Revelation 21).

“I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to
technologies:
1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary
and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that's invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is
new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of
things.”

1 Corinthians 15
51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be
changed— 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For
the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will
be changed. 53 For the perishable must clothe itself with the
imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 54 When the perishable
has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality,
then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been
swallowed up in victory.”
55 “Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?”
