Seek First the Kingdom of God

Matthew 6:33

33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

This verse ties in with the one in Jesus’ temptation in the desert.

Matthew 4:3-4

Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. ‘ ”

This idea which is repeated over and over in the whole Bible is followers are to be dependent on God first, not accepting other options to provide one’s needs.   The idea being that God will provide the best solution, and that other solutions are inferior to varying degrees.

John 10:10

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.

  1. This is where most Christians got it all wrong. We keep chasing shadows. The scripture made it so simple. Once we seek the Kingdom of God first, all other things shall be added. These means, wealth, health, riches etc. will be added to us

      Well, we can’t be sure what we will get. It’s more complex than that. However, I think most followers can be blessed in this lifetime with a decent existence, but this is just an opinion, and the definition of follow is to “live the life”.
