In following God's will, believers are called to live a life that honors and pleases Him. According to Romans, this involves being transformed by renewing one's mind and trusting that all things work together for good. The teachings of Jesus in Matthew emphasize the importance of seeking God's kingdom first and loving Him with all one's heart, while Galatians reminds us that our allegiance should be to God alone. By living in accordance with these principles, as seen in Romans and Matthew, believers can experience a life of purpose and fulfillment, knowing that they are living to glorify God.

And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose.
Am I now seeking the approval of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.
Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the Lord and not for men,

No one can serve two masters: Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.

Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, for God has said: “Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you.”
