What are the best things in life

The Best Things in Life Are Not Things Jesus said, “one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.” -- Luke 12:15

The Best Things in Life Are Not Things Material things are ours to be owned and used. But they all will be left behind when life is over. “For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.” -- 1 Timothy 6:7

What is really important in life? The condition of your soul! “For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” -- Matthew 16:26

What is important in life? It is important for your soul to know the Lord! “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent” -- John 17:3

It is important to know the Lord, no matter what material things It is important to know the Lord, no matter what material things you have to give up. “Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ.” -- Philippians 3:8

What is important in life? If you know the Lord, it is important that you persuade others to know Him too. “Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men...” -- 2 Corinthians 5:11

Because souls are important, we must not hinder the progress of any soul toward heaven. “…resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother's way.” Romans 14:13

The Best Thing in Life is to Know the Lord “Let us know, Let us pursue the knowledge of the LORD. His going forth is established as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, like the latter and former rain to the earth.” --Hosea 6:3
