🔸️ Christian life, unselfish life! 🔸️
He who places God in the first position in his life will soon find that he cannot places himself in the 'second' position. We are members of the same family that dined around Father's dining table. Father never wants selfish children, who eat all the food items by themselves, without caring about enough food to eat for the others!! Even non-repentant people will say that this is a bad habit. If so, how cruel it is, if a Christian has this evil nature!
Jesus told a parable about how he will judge between those who have shown kindness to others and those who have not. "When I, the one who came from heaven, come again, I will sit as a king on my wonderful throne to judge people.
He said to those around him, "When I was hungry, you didn't give me food; I was without clothes, and you didn't give me clothes". To which they replied, "Lord, when did all these happen? We never found you hungry and naked." To which the Lord replied, "I have lived among the born-again Christians! When you saw that one of my brothers was in need, you could not see that I was in such a need! You didn't even know that I was in the midst of my brother with hunger and thirst!!" (Matt. 25:31-46 - Explanatory verses).
This is one of the most important fundamental differences between Heaven and Hell. The hell is full of sin and self-centered life. Every human being who lives in the hell lives for himself. He never gives place to God or to others. But the life of heaven is quite the opposite. There God will be the Supremacy!! Second place will be won by others!!
Prayer:
Our heavenly Father! We, who place You first in our lives, give us the grace not to place ourselves secondly, but to live caring for 'others'; In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
