Little Red Book: Created for Fellowship

Why were we created?

Were we originally created for fellowship? "Let Us make man in Our own image". They are 3. They are in complete fellowship. Is that the image He speaks of? 

And fellowship, in it's purest sense, is glorifying to God. It is pleasing to Him. It spreads His love as He intended it to. "Good, in and of itself", a good friend once said.

We honor Him by how we live... by how we fellowship.

Because of the fallen world we live in, that fellowship is under attack. 
Violence.
Betrayal. 
Abuse. 
Neglect. 
Pride. 
Bitterness.
All these things, selfish, attack fellowship to it's core. 

Jesus' most simple commandment that He wanted us to know, that was most important was/is, "To love God and love others."

So what is our purpose? 

Because we love God we are to bring people back into fellowship with one another and consequently, that love expresses God's love.


In so doing, you are glorifying God.
