The elements, spirits and community of this world care about itself; and are not concerned about giving priority to anything or anyone else. In Christ we are concerned about life and our priority is that of Christ. We care enough to share what we have with those who are less fortunate and don't require payment for any of it.
Our Father God gave us life, he gave us time, and he gave us love through his only begotten son, Jesus Christ. Than allowed him to be a sacrifice so that we could have eternal life, and he didn't charge us a price.
We are adopted in to his family, the Kingdom of the most High. By simply confessing the sin in which we were born in, believing in his son Jesus Christ. Believing that he was crucified, that he lived, died and on the third day he did rise. He rose up out of that grave so that mankind would be saved.
By confessing and believing this miraculous blessing and receiving him in our life we don't have to be a part of this world, we are now a part of love. We don't have to abide in bitterness and strife or participate in the rituals of this world.
We don't have to think about the things that are beneath. We have higher thoughts and our priority is of God. We have no problem feeding the hungry, visiting the sick or simply being a willing participant in helping to lift up a sister or brother; because Jesus Christ example is the one we follow.
If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour (John 12: 26).
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things (Ph. 4: 8).
And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday (Is. 58:10):
Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me (Ma. 25: 34-36).
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved (Ro. 10:9).
If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour (John 12: 26).
