How do we know we are truly seeking heavenly things?
Answered in 1 source
We know we are seeking heavenly things when our words and actions consistently reflect a desire for God's kingdom above earthly matters (Colossians 3:2).
Scripture encourages us in Colossians 3:2 to 'Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.' This call is indicative of a heart transformed by grace, where seeking heavenly things becomes a natural expression of faith. If our conversations and decisions demonstrate a longing for God’s kingdom and an understanding of our temporal existence in this world, it is a sign that we are genuinely seeking what is above. Such a desire results in a lifestyle that prioritizes God’s promises and purpose over earthly ambitions, suggesting an alignment of our hearts with the truths of the Gospel and the hope we have in Christ.
