Your Spiritual Life#169

Everyone has priorities. What are yours? Do you have your priorities straight? Even religious people manage to put fame and fortune before God. How does God become a top priority in a person's life? Well first of all, you must have proper perspective on Christ! Jesus Himself asked, "What do you think about the Christ?" (Matthew 22:42). The answer is crucial. Do you believe that Jesus Christ was and is God? The Bible presents Him as God. He is "God with us" (Matthew 1:23). If you fail to recognize Jesus Christ as God, as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, your priorities are wrong. You see, if you don't recognize Jesus as God, you will not worship Him as you should. You will not listen to Him as you should. You will probably listen to some other so-called prophet. God said to Moses, "I will raise up a prophet from among their countrymen like you, and I will put My words in His mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him" (Deuteronomy 18:18). The New Testament says Jesus is this prophet. So if you are listening to another prophet besides Jesus speaking in the Bible, your priorities are wrong. Finally, many people are trying to work their way to heaven. They think they are as good as God or can become gods. But the Bible says, "There is not a righteous man upon the earth who continually does good and who never sins" (Ecclesiastes 7:20). So if you do not trust in the sacrifice of Christ as the only payment for your sins and the only way to heaven, your priorities are wrong.
