True Christians must ensure God is first in their hearts and actions, remaining steadfast regardless of external pressures or temptations.

Outline

The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.

A pure offering from east to westWhen starting the church forty-five years ago, God gave the verse in Malachi about a pure offering that will be offered to Him from the rising of the sun to its setting among all nations.

Why is Abel called righteous?By faith, Abel offered a better sacrifice than Cain, obtaining a testimony that he was righteous and still speaking to believers today about being ready for Christ's return.

Putting God first in your lifeAbel's faith believed that God must be first in everything, mirroring the first words of the Bible in Genesis: in the beginning, God.

Giving the best years to GodGod does not want the dregs of people's lives after they have enjoyed the world; He looks for those who give the best part of their life to Him from a young age.

No compromise for worldly gainBelievers who tell lies to get visas or college admission are offering corrupt offerings to God, showing that earthly things matter more to them than God.

Preparing people for the second comingLike John the Baptist, the church's focus is to prepare people for the second coming of Christ rather than chasing numbers, popularity, or money.

Two types of believers when Christ returnsWhen Christ appears, one group will have confidence and be ready, while another group will shrink away in shame because they are not ready.

Abiding in Christ without compromiseThe apostle writes to children of God to abide in Christ, never compromising convictions or giving God second place, so they can have confidence at His appearing.1 John 2:28

The danger of idolatry and lack of repentanceThe plagues in Revelation occurred because humanity did not repent of their idolatry and refused to put God first in their lives.

A final call to examine your heartBelievers are urged to examine their own hearts, put God first at any cost, and walk in righteousness to be truly ready for the Lord's coming.
