Subject: Mt 6:33, what must we find first? |
Bible Note: God's entire Holy Bible declares His Righteousness, His Righteous Requirements, His Gift of Righteousness and His Righteous Judgment. In Mt 6:33, Jesus Christ said we must seek first God's Kingdom and God's Righteousness. Therefore, we must find first what He wants us to find. Remember: Only a few will find the narrow Gate and narrow Road, Mt 7. If we do not start on the right road, we will not go where we need to go. And, yes, we must "rather, do this" as you replied but what, exactly? What is "this" that we must do? After John the Baptist went to prison, not before but after, Jesus Christ began His earthly Ministry. He said we must repent and believe, Mk 1:14-15. What, exactly, must we believe? Does that have anything to do with Mt 6:33? Yes, it does as Paul also wrote in his critical summary of Romans in Ro 1:16-21. What, exactly, must we find first according to Jesus Christ's command in Mt 6:33 and Paul's teaching on the very same command in Ro 1:16-21? |
