MEMORY VERSE
“Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”
- Matthew 5:19
Do you want to be the least in the kingdom of God? Personally, I would like to have a good reputation in the kingdom as being a man who obeyed God and taught others to do the same.
In earthly matters, we seek to excel and do well. Most people are not content with being at the bottom of anything. We want to climb the ladder and get to a higher position. We want promotions and a good reputation here on earth, but do we value our reputation in the kingdom in the same way?
Do you want to excel in the kingdom of God, or do you want to slack off and barely get by?
What we do in this life matters for eternity. Are you living for your eternal reward, or are you living for temporal earthy things?
Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, by walking in obedience and teaching others to do the same. Seek to excel in God’s kingdom.
