And its unique character, not its purpose.
Indeed, that concept fits in well with the framework under which you appear to work, as in "God presents us this journey, and the free will to choose salvation" and the paths are many, or the foot trails to the "best" or "True" path are many, and funnily enough most or all folks eventually find the "true" path (or not) in the end.
I once tried to encapsulate it all with a bit of a funny.
"Life is a bowl of cherries." Optimist.
"Life is tough, wear a helm." Realist
"Life is tough, then you die." Pessimist
"Life is too short to be miserable." Hedonist
"Life is the prequel to the Real Deal." Christian, Muslim, Hebrew, Hindu, etc, ad nauseum
"Life is whatever you make of it." The non religious PoV
"Life is a journey." The philosopher
"Life is." The Truth
PS/EDIT: Oh, I gotta agree with you on this one:
