Gift Of Eternal Life :: Seek First The Kingdom Of God
Too often we forget the real purpose of our life – It’s because the enemy (devil) desperately wants us to be part of his kingdom (The Hell). The choice is yours to make. What’s really your sole purpose of life? It’s clearly mentioned in the Bible and our purpose is as clear as daylight in Ecclesiastes 12:12 – “Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man”. How more clear can it be said that we have to fear God and need to obey His commendments to earn all the wonderful things God has in store for us – The Gift of an Eternal Life.
What do we need to do?
Again there is no other book that has all the ready made and straight answers – Bible is the word of God and says nothing but the Gospel Truth. So let’s seek the answer in the Bible itself.
What do we need to do to Enjoy Life? Simple, here it goes again…
But seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness and all these things shall be added to you.
We need to seek first the Kingdom of God, we need to give God first place in our lives. Think for a moment, what are you seeking first in your life. And what is it that causes all the troubles in your everyday life? No doubt, It’s the outer things. We value The outer things more than how much we value God. We run behind money, fame and happiness.
We are doing it the opposite way. And that’s the way of the Devil. How can we be sure that it’s the way that devil is inflicting in our minds? Where else did we get the idea of seeking of the outer things first? No doubt it’s from Devil himself. Here is the proof. Remember the story of Adam and Eve and how they were dragged in to sin? The snake inflicted poison in the minds of first humans by evoking want towards the outer things in Eve and that was how the first humans sinned and were cast out of the Eden garden.
John 10:10 – The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
Even if we know the story, we don’t often realize that the same old satan is working the same old trick in our everyday lives so as to keep us away from God. When you go behind the money and fame to earn you happiness and a real life, you need to realize that the same story of Adam and Eve is repeated in your life. You are committing the same sin that Adam and Eve did, you go behind the outer things and you are going away from God and away from his precious gift which is the Gift Of Eternal Life. And the result of following the Devil will always be Death, decay and destruction. Yes that’s the prize for following the path that devil puts before you. Don’t fall in devils trap.
It’s your decision, do you want Death, Decay and Destruction or do you want the gift of eternal life? The sole purpose of our short life in this universe is to fear and obey God and to be the children of our Heavenly Father, The Most High God. And that’s the only thing we need to care about to earn an abundant life in this world and an eternal life filled with love and happiness after we die. Simple, we will recieve the Gift of Eternal Life by being His children. Why go for the outer things when it is clear that it will all be given to you when you seek God and why seek the outer things when you know that, all you have left in your life, is just a few more years?
How do we get closer to God? Answer Is Simple – By spending more time with Him. Take a decision today to spend more time with God everyday, by reading His words in the Holy Bible. By meditating on His promises, by thanking Him for all the wonders and Blessing he has showered on to your life. By depending on Him for everything you do…
Realize that without Jesus, you can do nothing => For Jesus said in John 15:5 – “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.”
