But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
1Corinthians15:23
In the Christian life, there's a Divine order. Jesus Christ is the first fruit and He's the center of our existence in God. His position in God's family can't be shifted for any reason. Thus, anyone that does not respect this order is fallen from the grace of God that sustains every life in Christ. It's expedient that we understand and acknowledge the first fruit of our salvation, reconciliation, forgiveness, deliverance, prosperity and eternal life. Without Christ as the first, we are lost, irrespective of our activities or position in church. Let us not be caught in the grips of self exultation. Let us not allow pride to distort this Divine order in our relationship with God. Jesus remains the first forever.
The second order is the children of God at Christ's second coming. Brethren, God's order respect only our lives in Christ, not position in life, intelligence, smartness, activities at church, career or business success. Now, every other thing in life are important, put the most important thing is us being in Christ at every moment of our lives, no matter what we are doing. It's a salient point to note that being in Christ at His second coming is the most important thing man can ever imagine. Nothing in this life really counts, except to be among the raptured at Christ's second coming. Are you Christ's? Do you have eternal life in you? Think of these things!
Let's pray together
Abba Father, thank you for giving us Christ, our first fruits and Redeemer. Please forgive us for allowing a distortion of your order in our lives in the past. Today, we come in submission to your order, please help us to remain in Christ forever, in Jesus name. Amen.
