The end game of life!

“For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” Mark 16:26

Jesus taught about the priorities of life using many examples like this quote from the Book of Mark. Jesus explained what will become of the the man who spends his entire life to achieve success and wealth. He will end up with nothing and die with no hope for a resurrected life.

This man has nothing to offer to God when facing death because he has rejected God for the riches of the world.

The irony in this truth is that the man who works hard to have an abundant life will lose all and the man who gives up His life to follow God will be rewarded with an abundant life.

Jesus wants you to have a prosperous life but it comes down to your priorities and motives. You must place Jesus first in your life and be willing to deny yourself and follow Him. You give up the right to yourself and allow God to have authority over every aspect of your life.

This commitment is about an open heart to follow God and has nothing to do with religion or doing works to please God.

The priority is to seek God through prayer, His Word, and the leading of His Spirit. You become one with God through His Spirit living inside you.

You walk by faith and place your trust in the invisible world of God who calls things that don’t exist as if they did!
