The world and everything on it is the work of God,
the world is created by God for the delight and pleasure
people and to bring honor and glory to God.
( Genesis 1:26-28 ).
People exist for the pleasure of God, for God wanted
all people to live on the world in fellowship with God.
for that reason people received a mind from God
to reason like God.
( Genesis 1:26-27 ).
Therefore, the enjoyment of the things of the world may
never overpower our relationship with God,
for then the things of the world become our god,
for then the delight of the things of the world take the
place that belongs to God.
When the things of the world overpower our relationship with
God then we lose contact with God,
for we cannot love the things of the world and live
in fellowship with God.
( 1 John 15:15-17 ).
If our heart is in the things of the world then we are a
enemy of God, for our heart cannot be in the things of
the world and be open to God.
( James 4:4 )
Moreover, we can also never live halfheartedly for God
and with God, for that is never acceptable by God.
( Revelation 3:14-22 ).
We must be surrendered to God if we wish to live in
fellowship with God, for only that is acceptable by God.
( Deuteronomy 6:4-5 )( Luke 10:25-28 ).
there are many things on the world that can hinder us from
surrendering all to God.
Moreover, there are also many people who can hinder
us from living in fullness with God.
If we wish to live in fellowship and fullness with God
then we must surrender everything that hinder us from
coming to God,
in addition, we must make ourselves
free from all people that hinder us from living in
true friendship with God.
( Matthew 10:34-39 ).
We may enjoy all the good things on the world for they
are a gift to us from God,
however, if our heart is in the things of the world instead
of with God then we do not live for God.
We also may not equalize the things of the word with our
love of God, the first place in our life must belong to God,
for our heart cannot be in the things of the world
and be with God.
( Luke 16:13 ).
We also may not love people more then God or love people
equal as if we love God, for we cannot please people
and please God.
( John 12:42-43 ).
We also may not enjoy the things we do on the world more
then we love God, for that can also hinder our fellowship with God.
We must always do our best on the world for that is of God,
however, we may not allow the work we do on the world
overpower our friendship with God.
( Revelation 2:1-5 ).
We also may not allow the bible the written word of God
to overpower our relationship with God,
the Bible is the written word of God therefore we must
read the Bible to seek the will and way of God,
but the Bible may never take the place that belongs to God,
( John 5:39-40 ).
Our fellowship with other Christians also may not take the
place of God, for if we are content with the fellowship of
Christians then we never live in fullness on the word with God.
( 1 John 1:3 ).
Our prayers also may not take the place of God,
we may and must always pray to God,
but if our life is wrapped up in our praying to God than
it can hinder us from listening to God,
and therefore we never live in friendship with God.
( Matthew 6:7-9 ).
We must open our heart and mind to God and listen to voice
within us of God by the Spirit within us of God
only than do we live for God,
and only then do we live in fellowship with God
( 1 John 2:26-27 ).
For only if we live by the Spirit of God do we live for God
and do we live in fellowship with God.
( Romans 8:14 ).
If we seek for meaning of life in the creation of God
and the people then we will never find the reason why
we we received life from God,
however if we seek for meaning of life by God then we
have meaning of life, for the meaning of life is in God.
( Psalms 36:9 ).
