★ To know God is man’s supreme quest (Jeremiah 9:23-24 ESV).
Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.”
★ To know God and His Word is the greatest exercise of human intellect and the height of learning (Philippians 3:8 KJV). It is the pinnacle of wisdom.
"Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,"
★ To choose Christ is the greatest exercise of free will and the main purpose for which it is given.
★ To be holy and pleasing to God is the greatest worldly achievement, surpassing wealth, position, and fame.
• Hebrews 11: 5 ESV By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God.
• Ecclesiastes 12:13 ESV The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.
• Matthew 25:21 ESV His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’
★ The Bible is abundantly clear that Acts 2:38 is the sole plan of salvation for the Christian era. (This site will prove that from many angles.)
