Summary
Zac Poonen teaches that Christians must put God first in every area of life, following the example of Abel who offered his best to God. Drawing from Malachi 1:11 and Hebrews 11:4, he emphasizes that true readiness for Christ's return requires wholehearted commitment without compromise—refusing to give God leftover time, resources, or energy, but rather the first and best of what we have. He warns that believers who compromise their convictions for worldly gain or convenience will shrink back in shame when Christ appears, while those who maintain clear consciences and prioritize God above all will be ready to meet Him.
