Jesus says, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” (Matthew 6:33-34)
The first steps to understanding God and His Kingdom today on earth is to know His plan, purpose, and will for our lives. Therefore, the first book of the Bible in Genesis 1:1 says ”In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” It goes on to tell us in Genesis 1:27 where it says, “So, God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.” As such, it’s evident that we are spiritual beings with an occasional physical experience, which means if we do not become image bearers of God and use the spiritual compass given us by Him through Jesus Christ, then we have subjected ourselves at the mercies of this world, and by this world we will be influenced, persuaded, and converted to its way of life. As the Bible puts it, “we cannot please God if we love the world.”
