Ephesians 5:7
7 Be [ginomai] not [me] ye [ginomai] therefore [oun] partakers [summetochos]
with them. [autos] KJV-Interlinear
7
Therefore do not be partakers with them; NASB
Partakers, ‘summetochos,’
means participant, associate, resemblance, addition, fellow, partner.
And so here is the
command, which is an emphatic command.
Do not associate with, do not imitate, do not practice the carnal
activities that others practice, and thus lose out on your blessings.
This is a pretty clear
verse.
Do as spiritually
negative folks do and you will get what they get, which is nothing. Your eternal reward will amount to nothing,
or the loss of everything, blessing wise that is.
God created an entire
universe, to be the environment in which human history would play out.
God created phenomenal
detail within this universe, within life, within everything that can be seen
and unseen.
God went to great effort
in preparing a plan that is so intricately detailed, connecting and providing
for any and all possibilities, so as to give each one of us an unimaginable
life here now, and in eternity.
The magnitude of all that
God has done is far, far, far beyond our abilities of perception.
The next universe, which
will be combined with heaven, will be infinitely greater than this current
universe, and so too, Gods blessings will be infinitely vast.
So, given all of this,
then why would anyone even be interested in the nothings that this world has to
offer?
Why would anyone even
begin to be indifferent toward learning all that God has done and all that God
has provided?
Why would anyone
disregard Gods truth and the magnitude of Gods blessing?
Why would anyone not want
to learn of their role in this life and how God has fit us into His plan?
Why would anyone not want
to know the meaning of their life and purpose?
Why would anyone be so
stubborn as to want with passion, the emptiness of a defiant life, and throw
away vast wealth for all of eternity?
Why would anyone pursue
the carnal life knowing that it will gain them nothing in the long run?
Why would anyone not want
to learn Gods mandates, Gods procedures, Gods process, but instead try to
invent their own rules?
Why would anyone who has
lived but a few decades, presume that they know more than God, who has lived
forever.
