This life has a purpose, but it is not our ultimate purpose

And Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre, or Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned. Now the days of Isaac were 180 years. And Isaac breathed his last, and he died and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
Genesis 35:27-29 (ESV)

We are sojourners on this earth. We have appointments to make while we are alive, and there is a final appointment we will make when it is our time to die.

This life has a purpose, but it is not our ultimate purpose.

Death is something the rich and poor, famous and infamous, and churched and unchurched, have in common. Death will always evoke strong emotions in that it brings all important matters into focus. The wisest thing a person can do is to prepare for the day of their death by investing in what comes after death and will never end.

Today we speak of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob because of God's faithfulness to them and their choices in life. We do not refer to God as the God of Abraham, Esau, and Jacob.
Will the next generation refer to God as the God of (your name) or will they need to look elsewhere to see how God has worked?

For now, the choice is ours.
