It is evident that God wants you to appreciate life, fulfill His will on this planet, and to take care of His earthly creations.  


John 3:16 points out that God gave His only son with the one and only plan that humanity believes in Jesus so that people will inherit eternal life and escapes eternal banishment from God.  


As a result, the sacrifice of Jesus was to restore the relationship between man and God.    


What do you cherish the most?  Do you treasure God's love?  Matthew 6:21 says, For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

  

In essence, God’s love created this world for our enjoyment.  As a result, there is nowhere that God is not.  Psalm 139:7-12 states this so clearly.
