Summary/Abstract: In the context of Holy Scripture, the meaning of human life depends both on the free will of the individual and of society as a whole. According to the Christian teaching about the salvation of everyone, the ultimate goal is the attainment of holiness with the help of God’s grace. Before that, however, the necessary condition is the purification of the soul by repentance and humility.
