“So, God created human beings in his image. In the image of God, he created them: male and female he created them.”1 For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.”2“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.”3“And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.”4 “Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord.”5
God is Spirit. He created human beings in His image in righteousness and true holiness as spiritual beings clothed with material substance, the body. One of the purposes God created human beings to reflect Him was to have fellowship withhumanity. Our first parents, Adam and Eve, used to have fellowship with God in the cool of the day before they sinned against God and fell short of God’s glory. In our day, God wants us to have fellowship with Him and one another, especially after we have acknowledged our sin, confessed it, repented of it, and received Christ Jesus into our hearts as Lord and Savior.
