Christians, does God want our focus on ..............?

My feeling is that we're given opportunities and means to achieve - that God wants us with Him in much the same way we want our kids with us, happy and healthy. Christ emphasizes and explains that we should *live* loving, moral lives. So it's my feeling the focus should be on fulfilling that here, in the lives we were given, "on earth as it is in Heaven".

Jesus is the way, we shouldn't do all the things the bible commands out of fear of hell or wanting of heaven bro, first you got to love jesus and then all the other stuff will fall in too place, read your bible, that is Crucial though, if you don't do anything else read your bible, its important

and why does it matter? lets say you have a spouse right and you get them a gift

do you think they would appreciate it better because you were afraid they would leave you so the gift is a way of keeping them, or that you gave them the gift in order to have sex with them or something like that, or you gave them the gift out of nothing but love and no other reason

hope my responds helps.

I believe my focus should be on running the race -- not away from hell, but toward His Kingdom. To me, it does matter what I focus on. I want to live my life in such a way that I hear Him say "Well done, good and faithful servant".

I think he just wants us to focus on him(:

both i guess
