Why the God Wants our Love
If you don't believe that there is an afterlife and the spirit world where your spirit will go after death in this world, you should naturally think that you have to be rich and happy as much as possible while living in this world.
But almost all of those who have encountered a near-death-experience believe that there is an afterlife and the spirit world, so that they will come to less stick to worldly matters.
Most people who do not believe in the afterlife and the spirit world think that the reason for their living in this world is to become rich and happy as much as possible. However, those who believe in the afterlife and the spirit world think that the reason for their living in this world is to make their spirits grow and advance as much as possible.
Satan wants people to want to be rich and happy as much as possible, since they will try to be rich and happy even by selling their souls to Satan so as to get help and support from Satan who can give them money and make them success in this world as it tempted Christ Jesus. And when people sell their souls to Satan, they will follow Satan and go against the teaching of the God and Christ Jesus.
Even to those who want to spiritually grow and advance and avoid getting rich, Satan would send devils disguised as angels so as to confuse and lead them to wrong directions. Indeed, the Gospels give a warning to be alert for false Jesus or saints.
So, it is far better to make one's spirit grow and advance than to try to be materially rich and happy while living in this world even if such life is not perfectly free from Satan. But for what purpose are people living ultimately? Some pious people might answer that a man is living to make others happy.
Put simply, the answer is in the Gospels: Christ Jesus said to love the God as much as possible and our neighbors like we loved ourselves. Therefore, the purpose and the ultimate goal of our life is to love the God as much as possible and our neighbors as loving ourselves.
However, there are two important issues: why the God created men for such purpose and how we can love our neighbors who have sold their souls to Satan.
Anyway, to try to make our spirits grow and advance must be one way to show our love to the God. If our spirits are fully enlightened, we should be able to understand why the God wants our love (for this reason, Christ Jesus told to love the God as much as possible), for which the God created men.
Luke 9, King James Version
9 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
4 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.
