Seek The Kingdom Of God As A Lifestyle

 

How often are you to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness? Truly, some Christians see seeking God and doing His will as a task. And as long as they see it that way, they will always find it burdensome to obey. Yet, the Lord says that His commandments are not grievous (1 John 5:3). The post emphasizes that we are to seek the Kingdom of God as a lifestyle.

 

For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain - Philippians 1:21 (NKJV).

 

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me - Matthew 16:24 (NLT).

 

There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death - Proverbs 14:12 (NKJV).

Introduction

Christianity is not a religion per se, it's a way of life; it's living as Christ did on earth. And the Lord's way of life was what gave Him victory over the enemy and success in His mission on earth. As such living like Christ will surely give you victory over the enemy and success in life. And Jesus is the one who said we should seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and every other thing will be added to us. Therefore seeking God's kingdom should be our lifestyle.

Why A Lifestyle

As a child of God, to live is to live for Christ. So, every minute we spend on earth is to do things that will always please the Lord. Also, as followers of Jesus, we're to give up our own way to follow His way. And the truth remains that Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. So, we can never miss the way following Him. And any way outside Christ may seem to be the way, but the end is the way of death. Read more...
