Kingdom.

Conclusion:
Living for God is a pure determination of the heart. Our reasonable service to God is our
worship. Serving God should be top priority as He is faithful and true to His Word. It is because
of His faithfulness that we should believe that God is able to do whatever we have faith to
believe Him for. The question we should ask ourselves is this, ‘Is there anything too hard for
God?’ God does not need to prove Himself to us. The fact that we are saved should be proof
enough.
