Why is it important to put Christ first in our lives?

Answered in 1 source

Putting Christ first is essential because it aligns our lives with God's purposes and ensures spiritual integrity.

Christ must have preeminence in a believer's life because He is the source of life, guidance, and holiness. In Luke 9:60, Jesus instructs a potential follower to prioritize the preaching of the kingdom over familial obligations, which underlines the seriousness of His call. Believers are called to follow Him with an undivided heart, as failing to do so leads to a divided loyalty that cannot bear fruit. Philippians 3:14 encourages us to press toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus, affirming that our highest purpose and fulfillment come from prioritizing Him.
