"Putting JESUS CHRIST First"
It can be either easy or difficult to receive salvation through CHRIST JESUS because it involves being able to put The Lord JESUS before yourself or anyone else. As JESUS said in John 14:15, "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments", but just how many people actually do as He asked? Most people are often more concerned with their own self-interests, and if that is not the case, then they are more concerned with someone else's interests, but seldom are they seeking to put The Lord JESUS first. It is difficult to put The Lord JESUS first when pleasing one's self and/or others is one's main goal. Many people will claim that they do think of The Lord JESUS first, but it is definitely not in the way that He would like. To these types of people, He is first just as long as He is doing what they want Him to do for them, and as long as He is not interfering in what they want. Some people might even think that it is unfair to have to put JESUS CHRIST first, but remember, He put everyone else first when He went to the cross for your sins.
Therefore children of Mine in CHRIST, just be mindful of the fact of the power that comes from putting The Lord JESUS first in your life. When you learn to put CHRIST JESUS first in all you do, then you will learn to see things that might have been hidden from you before. When you learn to put JESUS CHRIST first, you will also begin to know a peace that passes understanding and a joy that is unspeakable in your heart. When you put The Lord JESUS first in your life, you will also experience the power to be able to love like you have never loved before in your life. Those who do put The Lord JESUS first will learn to be seekers of truth and not become vulnerable to the newest thing that comes down the track which is often used to deceive many. And most important of all, is putting The Lord JESUS first is the same as putting Me first because He and I are One, and you can never go wrong doing that. Now may you be one who learns to put Us first in your life, in JESUS' Most Precious and Holy Name.
AMEN
