2 To Love God with All My Heart Deut. 6:5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

3 To Present My Body as a Living Sacrifice Romans 12:1-2 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by teshng you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

4 To Please God 2 Cor. 5:8-10 Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil. Eccl. 12:13-14 The end of the maler; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.

5 To Put the Kingdom First Mt. 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Mt. 13:44-46 The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

6 To Deposit My Greatest Treasure in Heaven Luke 12:32-34 Fear not, lille flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

7 To Look Upward Colossians 3:1-4 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

8 To Walk by Faith 2 Cor. 4:16-18 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is washng away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day. For this slight momentary afflichon is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. 2 Cor. 5:7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.
