Created for Fellowship

Email This Post

Sometimes it is hard to understand and remember that God created us for His pleasure and for fellowship with Him, but it is true. The fact that God put Adam and Eve in charge and walked and talked with them in a close and personal relationship and that He was very pleased with them should give us all cause to believe that God wants the pleasure of fellowship with us.

Because God is a Holy and Righteous God, He took no pleasure in Adam and Eve’s disobedience and could no longer fellowship or dwell with Evil. Paradise was lost, and Adam and Eve were banished as were all who would come after them. God wanted the pleasure of our company so badly that He came to earth as a man, lived a perfect life, and died on the cross so that our fellowship with Him might be restored.

Through faith in Jesus Christ the barrier of sin has been removed and we are once again the “apple of God’s eye” and a source of pleasure to Him.

God desires the pleasure of the company of all who will freely and willingly receive the gift of eternal life by the power of the Holy Spirit. This is an invitation we dare not refuse. The grace that saves is also the grace that empowers us to be a source of pleasure to God as we live our lives walking and talking in close fellowship with Him.

The pleasure of God’s company is manifested by the power of His presence in every area of life for those who truly believe.

For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He crowns the humble with salvation. “Psalm 149:4
