Seek ye first

[capnator]

Mat 6:33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.


I am doing up a bible study on this topic to do with people, can you please list any Bible verses that fit nicely with this theme.

- That Christ is to be first in our lives.

- any particularly cutting S.O.P. quotes that you know of would also not go astray.

Thanks.

Here's a good one that will bless many people and remove a huge burden and stumbling block.

Romans 14:14-17 I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. Yet if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy with your food the one for whom Christ died. Therefore do not let your good be spoken of as evil; for the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

I think Phil. 4:8 sums it up quite well.

What does it mean to seek first the kingdom of God?

To me that says humble yourself. Put away all selfish thoughts or actions.

This is summed up well When Jesus says, "Deny yourselves, take up your cross daily, and follow me."

John 14 and Jesus relationship with the Father and with us is also some good material to use.
