Bible Question: I understand God created man for fellowship with,and too, worship him. Is that said chapter and verse in the bible? Maybe more than one? As my son says "I wooked and I wooked, but I couldn't find it!" I believe it's there but have had not been able to locate it. Help I need it for my small group meeting? Thanks! |
Bible Answer: Goodmorning al k: I believe the words of Jesus gives us some insight into your question. "...that they may know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent" John 17:3 I enjoy the amplified rendering of the above verse. I believe that it has always been God's desire to have a personal relationship with humans as seen in Gen 3:8. It would appear that before sin came into the world God communed with Adam and Eve. The depth of this desire for us to know him is demonstrated in what he was willing to pay that this fellowship might be restored. Robert |
