4 Things to Discuss
​
To seek the kingdom above all else and to put God first means:
​
You need to know what the Bible teaches
Q3. How well do you understand the Bible?
​
You should conduct yourself in line with kingdom expectations
Q4. Do you know how God expects you to live?
You should know your rights and privileges
Q5. Can you state one right or privilege you have as a believer besides salvation?
​
You should be loyal to God
Q6. Can you state one right or privilege you have as a believer besides salvation?
​
Jesus said: "Love the Lord your God..." That requires relationship.
​
Growing closer to God is just as much about relationship as it is being obedient to His commands.
“Without relationship, you’ll just have rules. Without obedience, you’ll just have chaos and no real relationship at all.”
