“Seek
first His kingdom and His righteousness…” (Matthew 6:33a NIV)
For us
who call ourselves Christians, our views, positions, and beliefs should all
spring from our understanding of the will of God. Christians seek, above all, to know and do the
will of God. Ultimately, nothing
matters more than this. God has created
us, has a plan for us, and we believe we will be held accountable for how we
respond to God's will. We consider
ourselves citizens of God's kingdom first, even before our national
citizenship, and we strive to live so as to bring God's reign to the whole
world. When we invite Jesus to be Lord
in our lives, we invite Him to be our sovereign or ruler. We agree to live by His commands and
teachings. And we pledge to seek to do
His will.
