God takes second to none. We must place God ahead of our father and mother, our spouse and children, our brothers and sisters, and even ourselves. Until we choose to lose at this life, we can never win our eternal life. Until we are buried with Christ by baptism, and take up our cross, we will lose our eternal soul. Until we place God first in our lives, we will finish last with God.
