2. Remember the spiritual goal. The long-range goal of every Christian is to be adopted into the spiritual Family of God, and our short-range goal is to become more like Christ by overcoming Satan, the world, and human nature. We must shift our focus from the physical to the spiritual.
God wants us to enjoy life, but not at the expense of our eternal life. We are in training now for a glorious spiritual life. God has already chosen and set us apart for His purpose in the Kingdom. This is why Christ commands us in Matthew 6:33, But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
