What is most important in life?

A lot of people think having too much money, impressive houses, fancy clothes, and high-paying jobs are the most needed things in life. And yes this mindset is right only for those who don’t know what is important in life. But there is more to it than just that, and to tell you the most important things in life, we should ask the president or vice right?
Wrong. All these people with high physical authority are all under someone including us. Do you know who it is? It’s God, he created the world and everything in it. So don’t you think if we want to know the important things, the meaning of life and its origin we should outsource from him? After all, he is the only one who knows the beginning and the end of everything.
So it will be wise for us to seek such an answer from him. But what if I tell you that he has revealed the most important things in life to us already through his son Jesus? Will you agree?
When Jesus was on earth a man came to him from the crowd and asked, my brother, has a lot of things, please can you tell him to give me some of it? Jesus stood there quietly because he knew the man doesn’t know the things that should be important to him.
So he showed him the most important things by telling them a parable…
There was once a rich man who had a lot of lands and crops filled inside his barns. But it came to a time where the crops from his land were so much to fill his storehouses. So he began reasoning with himself, then he came to a conclusion where he said to himself that “am going to tear down all my storehouses and build a bigger one where I can fill in all my crops and grains. Then I will work no more because I have a lot of food. I will relax, eat, drink, and enjoy myself.”
Then God said, unreasonable one. Tonight they’re demanding your life and who then is going to have all the good things you have stored? (Reference is in Luke 12:13-21)
Can you spot the most important thing Jesus was trying to show the man from his illustration? It is his life. Because from the parable when God said that the rich man’s life was going to be taken that very night, his material things couldn’t save him.
So what do you think about more money, cars, fancy clothes and your life, which is more important?
Your life is the most important thing. Without it just ask yourself where you would have been, a bag of dust. It’s dust we were all created from and given life into it. So we are just dust haunting for more money and cloth but not knowing exactly what is relevant in life.
And remember, you can not only care about life and forget about God. Note that very well because he gave you this life you have. So it better to live your life doing what pleases him, because you might not know when he is going to demand it back.
And that’s not all, there is other…
3 most important things in your life
Looking for what is important in life? The top 3? Then pay very close attention. Whiles your life should be the most important thing for you, there are other relevant things you need to know. God, money, and wisdom are all the other things you need. But there is caution on some of these things and it’s explained below.
1. God
Almighty Jehovah God is the creator of the earth, and if you think you don’t need him, then think again. Who will look over you when you are deeply asleep? Who will give you eternal life? Who is going to answer your prayers?
Just look at how happy you will be if you are among the kids of your country’s president. You will feel so great right? Yes, because he has the highest authority in the country, and whatever he says it must be done by the citizens. But can you rely on your president, parent, or friends for eternal life? No, that’s exactly why you need God in your life because without him you are nothing.
2. Wisdom
There are a lot of people in this world who are very successful and rich not because they are hard-working. It’s all about their mindset and how they think and execute. Our brain is the most powerful gift God has given us. If you use it correctly, you will attract great wealth into your life. And as you already know, there is always a bad side to everything. So if you use your mind wrongly, it will work against you.
And just think how your body would have been without it. And truly you need wisdom to feed this brain, that’s what God gave to King Solomon. And also remember wisdom is protection as Ecclesiastes 7:12 says “For wisdom is a protection just as money is a protection, but the advantage of knowledge is this: Wisdom preserves the life of its owner.”
Just think of an unwise man who walks in the street and sees some gangs with knives. Because he is unwise, he will trust his inner guts and say something like “This guys can’t do me anything. If they try, I will kill them all.” So he went and risks his life. But a wise person will take a different route to save his life.
3. Money
Just as wisdom is protection, so is money Ecclesiastes 7:12. You may ask me in what way can money be a protection for you. Well just imagine how our system is moving, do you think you can have a good medication with no money? Let say you felt sick and went to the hospital. You tell the doctor you are seriously sick but you don’t have any money. What will happen? If you don’t meet a kind doctor, he or she will surely sack you. And if she or he doesn’t, he may direct you to a different hospital.
So money and wisdom are all important things in life. But in all, your life is what you should be much concerned about. And to live is to be rich towards God’s for eternal life. If that is the case, then…
Why is money important in our life?
A lot of religious folks speak negatively about money. But the Bible itself made it clear that money is really important in our life. Again let look at what is written in Ecclesiastes 7:12 “For wisdom is a protection just as money is a protection, but the advantage of knowledge is this: Wisdom preserves the life of its owner.” Just taking the first part, you can see Clearly that it did mention money as protection.
And yes, money is indeed protection the bible never tells lies. Just look at how your family health and yours will be, without you having money for good medication. Or not having money to provide your family with healthy foods. Money is really important but the concept most people have about it is the problem. A lot of people are not chasing money, they are rather worshiping it. That is one thing we need to put an end to, but not to see money as irrelevant.
Should I look for a lot of money?
This is where most people fall behind. We have tied our life to money a lot that we even forget to have time for our family and friends. There is no problem with that but we shouldn’t be looking for a lot of money. Because there won’t be any sense in it for you to tear your blood searching for money, and die in vain. If you can get what you and your family can depend on daily, that’s enough and okay. After all, if you are to die tonight, more money can’t save you.
So what you should rather focus much on is the relationship between you and God. And not only that, you need your family to know about God in other to be saved. So don’t tie yourself too much to money.
What is important to you?
So now, is up to you to decide on what you are going to dedicate your life to. Be it money, cloth, cars, house, business, wisdom, your life, you and God’s relationship you already know what should be important to you. But in all remember, all these things are important but there are others you can’t do without it. Taking your life and your relationship with God as an example. If this life is not within you, what will you be, a dust right? And also if God decides to sees all the air, how long can you survive?
Those are very essential things but money, cars, and businesses shouldn’t be the top important things to you. You can actually live without these things as far as you have life. So in short, all man-made things are less important, and never the least, these things can’t save you.
What is the most important thing in your life?
So if am to sum up everything, the most important thing for you is to be rich towards God. And not to be like that unwise rich man who gained more material things and forgot the need to have God in his life. That is the only thing we need and he alone can give us eternal life. Yes, that is a promise God has made to all those who are willing to do his will. He said “the righteous ones will have the land and enjoy all the good things in it. They will sin no more and for life, they will have an everlasting one because God himself will be their governor.” (And he knows what is important in life)
So now, if God himself is going to be your governor after Armageddon, then…
What is the importance of God in our life?
That’s a very important question you need to know. Most people ask this question mostly because when they pray they don’t get any answer, when they cast their burden on God, there seems to be no help. So they keep asking if God is really important in their life. Am sure you have thought of something like that too? If you had, pay very close attention as I show you why you need God in your life.
Just think of the following for a minute:
- If you got to know that you are not important in your friend’s life, will you waste your time doing them well? Surely you won’t because whatever you will do, your friends won’t value your time. So if we humans with little knowledge know of this, how much more God with the overall wisdom? He would have seeded the air, block the rain and stop the moon and the sun from shinning.
But yet, he continues to give us all these because he knew he is important in our life. Just imagine how long you can survive without the existence of all these things? Note that God is important in your life that’s why he keeps on giving you all those natural resources.
- If you hate or you an enemy to someone, will you answer his or her phone calls? Will you do anything good for him or her? Surely you won’t because such kindness will go in vain and you will get nothing out of it. And you know what’s even painful? In the end, your enemy will pay you back evil for good.
But what if your friends and love once, will you hesitate to help them when they need it? Surely you won’t because such peoples are really important to you than your enemies.
So if I and you, an ordinary human with a brain know how to treat those we love well. What do you think God will do to those who do his will? Will he answer their prayers? Yes, because such peoples are really important to him and they’re the ones he thinks they need him in their lives. So simple, and this where most people don’t understand. When they pray very hard to God and get no reply.
They don’t need to be worried about such a thing but what they should ask themselves is “Am I doing the will of God?” Because God will never answer our prayers if we don’t get rid of evil things in our life. And remember any evil-doer is against God, so how will he answer such a person’s prayers? Just as you will help those you love than those against you, so it is.
And what the bible verses says about what is important in life?
Bible verses about what is important in life
There are a lot of quotations in the Bible that explains what should be important to us in life. But I don’t want you to be bombarded with a lot of quotations, so just thinks about these two:
Luke 12: 13-21
(13) Then someone in the crowd said to him: “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” 14 He said to him: “Man, who appointed me judge or arbitrator between you two?” 15 Then he said to them: “Keep your eyes open and guard against every sort of greed because even when a person has an abundance, his life does not result from the things he possesses.” 16 With that he told the man illustration, saying: “The land of a rich man produced well.17 So he began reasoning within himself, ‘What should I do now that I have nowhere to gather my crops?’
(18) Then he said, ‘I will do this: I will tear down my storehouses and build bigger ones, and there I will gather all my grain and all my goods,(19) and I will say to myself: “You have many good things stored up for many years; take it easy, eat, drink, enjoy yourself.” (20) But God said to him, ‘Unreasonable one, this night they are demanding your life from you. Who, then, is to have the things you stored up?’ (21) So it goes with the man who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich toward God.”
Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10
(5) For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing at all, nor do they have any more reward, because all memory of them is forgotten.
(10) Whatever your hand finds to do, do with all you might, for there is no work nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom in the Grave, where you are going.
What do you need in life?
So far the only thing you need to focus on in life is not everything. You need to be selective and discipline enough to justice yourself to what you should dedicate your life to. There are a lot of good things in this world. Sweet foods, fast cars, impressive houses, fancy clothes, and many more. Over the internet, there is a lot of joy, be it movie, music or game you want to play, just Google it and you will find a lot.
But don’t let these entertaining things fool you. You do remember that rich man who had everything and lost his soul right? Yes, his material things couldn’t save him and that’s not what I want for you. You need to be rich towards God so that you can have everlasting life.
And as far as you are still here, you will eat, buy things, go for medication and think. So you also need money and wisdom for protection as Ecclesiastes 7:12 says. But remember not to tie yourself too much to the love of money. That is a very high deadly trap and we all got to be careful about it. Our relationship with God and our own life is what we need to consider first in everything.
So if all these things are important, then…
What is not important in life?
Aside from God, money, and wisdom, there are a lot of irrelevant things that are actually not much important. What I mean here are the things we can actually live without. In the ancient days, most of the things that exist today weren’t there. And yet they were still living their lives peacefully with their loved ones. That doesn’t mean there weren’t any irrelevant things in those days. There was a lot so as it is today.
While most unimportant things like social acceptance, cars, and phones, seem not to be any. Remember, these things help make our life’s easier, with the car we can travel a long distance in a short time. And also with phones, we can communicate with one another without any physical interaction. They are all good and it helps us in many ways. But these material things shouldn’t be what your life should depend on.
Because no matter how many you tore your blood to acquire, you can’t send any of it to your grave. Oh, I will give it to my sons as an inheritance, you may say. But it can’t save you if you are to die now. There is no problem in having a lot of material things, but just make sure that you won’t have many of them and forget God. Everlasting life is what your soul needs and it can only have that by you having a strong relationship with almighty Jehovah.
So in short, all material things are unimportant, they just help to make our life easy but our life does not depend on it. And to this, you can actually predict directly what shouldn’t be much important in your life.
