Conclusion Are you seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness first in your life or does something else come first? If something else comes first, you’re not going to heaven according to the Bible (cf. rich young ruler- Mk. 10:21). Are you still enthusiastically serving the Lord or are you becoming lethargic in your attendance and service? As a Christian, examine yourself and if you failed, determine that you will repent of your sins and be diligent in the Lord’s service again! Let us press on toward the goal of heaven (Phil. 3:13-14).
