SCRIPTURE COMMENTARY #185
"Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you. Be not therefore solicitous for to morrow; for the morrow will be solicitous for itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof." (Matt. 6:33-34)
CARE FOR OUR SALVATION must be our chief concern as Christians. Before everything else we must try to attain to the kingdom of heaven, i. e. to save our souls, and for this end we must live in the grace of God and strive ceaselessly after His "justice." A true love of ourselves demands this of us, for our soul is more precious than our body, and we ought to seek its interests first.
