does knowing God requires you to give up the comforts of life

Brother Larry, May CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

Knowing ( Matthew 13:11) God (God is TRUTH) is all that matters.

God is LIFE, we are the vessel (pot) that HOLDS that LIFE.

YOU (sinful flesh) DIED on the CROSS, with CHRIST, YOU (the new creation of CHRIST's resurrection) will never DIE AGAIN ( Luke 22:35-36).

The vessel (our body of flesh will return to dust, at the harvesting of the new (SPIRIT) man), the new man (CHRIST IN YOU) will BECOME ONE (be married) to CHRIST.

Ephesians 4:4 There is ONE BODY (CHRIST), and ONE SPIRIT (the FATHER) ( John 17:21).

What CHRIST has always been, the SON of GOD, you will be.

Seek you first the Kingdom of God (created by the birth of truth and life) and all these things (comforts of life) will be added to you ( 1 Corinthians 4:7).

Hi Larry , it depends on what you call comforts . I have everything I need , food warmth shelter clothing and a nice husband . Try to make the Truth your greatest comfort , your Bible , your relationship with God and with Jesus and with your brother's and sisters in Christ . Take comfort in all the ways you can help others ,Christians and none Christians also . Be comforted most of all by the love that God and Jesus show you every day in a million different ways . Make the things that pertain to the Everlasting God , the Holy One of Israel your treasure because where your treasure is that is where your heart is also .
