Maybe, more like this? (You wrote too good a thought to just leave it floundering.)
All right, Space Cadets, back to the original question.
And, that would be: “What’s the point? — everything is selfish.”
Well, the” point” of all that we now do for God is that we are to strive to spread God’s word, and help others to grasp the truth that Jesus died for our sins. So, to answer your question… The point of living is that Jesus restored our lives so we now do what we can to help each others. Just as Jesus, himself, stated as a final commandment to his disciples, "Love each other as I have loved you." Meaning, ”Care for each other until Jesus' promise of judgement comes to pass — for he shall come “as a thief in the night.”
This means that we must teach and help each other until that time. That is the "point" I think you are looking for, and it is "NOT Selfish."
In fact, if you were contemplating giving up on life, then you would be the "SELFISH" one, because Jesus died for us so that we could not only live, but also be saved. To give up such life, is to care nothing for Jesus' sacrifice, or for God making you in the first place. As the bard said: Tis better to try and fail at something than to do nothing and succeed.
For we are not like plants. They live and grow with without effort. Whereas, we must work to keep what we hold dear in our hearts. Because it was not we who made the earth, nor the stars. Neither did we make the resources that are in abundance all around us. God did all this.
The "point", as you put it, is to simply do "OUR" part, for God already has done his part.. and continues to do his part.
To put it more plainly, we are to take care of each other. And we are to repay our brother and our father for all they have done, and still do for us. Although we cannot do this with mere money, we can do it by caring for one another… by spreading God's Word, and holding fast to that which Jesus promised.
For, of what use was his promise that he shall return, if we cannot be vigilant and long-suffering and faithful to the cause that all can receive salvation.
Again, what use is it for the blind to lead the blind? We must all open our eyes, hearts, and souls to God, instead of pointing fingers and wallowing in self-pity.
There is no “point” in being sad when you already have everything. And "what use is there in being mournful when thou hast not died? "
The final "point" is that it is not “pointless” to live and serve God, for all other ways point to sin and the wages of sin is death.
