OUR MOST IMPORTANT AIM

The number one goal of every Christian should be to please God at all times. And every other desire and goal must corroborate, rather than contradict it. Your most important aim shouldn't be to raise the dead, to be rich, to do exploits, to preach, et cetera; those are secondary; our most important aim must be to please the Lord.

2 Corinthians 5:9&10 says, "Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad."

Apostle Paul did it all: he raised the dead, ministered to multitudes, stood before great men, established churches, shared revelations, saw Jesus, and so on, yet he was always conscious of the fact that we must all stand before God one day and give account for all that we have done while here. Apostle Paul never took the judgment of God for granted as many of us do today.

All of life is a journey to the judgment seat of Christ! We never arrive until we stand before Him and receive the rewards for all that we have done.
