*Why* should we affiliate with God the creator?

Why should we affiliate with God the creator?


Is it because we believe God to be powerful - by far the most powerful, infinitely powerful?

Is that why we should affiliate with God?

Is it instead (or as well) because we believe there is nothing-else-but God (and divine creation) - so that it is insane and irrational not to affiliate, because there is literally nothing-else? 

These are reasons that some people have, or give, for affiliating with God (as such people understand God). 


But it seems to me that the Christian reason for affiliating with God, by-far and essentially the main reason: 

Is that - from the depth of our being, insofar as we know it - we approve of God.

Because we know and love God's loving nature. 

Because we desire to join and ally our-selves with God's hopes, and plans, and methods. 


Thus, for a Christian we ally with the creator not because of his power or oneness or totality; all of which are uncertain and debateable - but instead from our own love of who God is and what God is doing and aiming-at - and the desire to join our efforts, join our selves, with that nature and purpose.
