Why is pursuing God the priority for Christians?

The sermon emphasizes that God should not merely hold first place in our lives; rather, He should be the central focus that encompasses everything else. When we pursue God wholeheartedly, all other responsibilities—such as work and family—find their proper place in our lives. This is counterintuitive to human reasoning, which often sees many things as equally important. Yet, acknowledging God's sovereignty leads us to view everything else in its rightful context and value, aligning with the truth that God is the only essential value.
