In the biblical context, what is considered all-important often relates to the nature and character of God, His commandments, and the salvation offered through Jesus Christ.<br><br><b>God's Sovereignty and Glory</b><br><br>The sovereignty and glory of God are central to the biblical narrative and are considered all-important. In <a href="/isaiah/46-9.htm">Isaiah 46:9-10</a> , God declares, "Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, 'My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all My purpose.'" This passage emphasizes the all-important nature of God's eternal plan and His unmatched authority over creation.<br><br><b>The Greatest Commandment</b><br><br>In the New Testament, Jesus highlights the all-important nature of love for God and neighbor. In <a href="/matthew/22-37.htm">Matthew 22:37-39</a> , Jesus responds to a question about the greatest commandment: "‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’" These commandments encapsulate the essence of the Law and the Prophets, underscoring their all-important role in the life of a believer.<br><br><b>Salvation Through Christ</b><br><br>The message of salvation through Jesus Christ is another all-important theme in the Bible. In <a href="/john/14-6.htm">John 14:6</a> , Jesus states, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." This declaration affirms the exclusive and all-important role of Christ in the redemption of humanity. The apostle Paul further emphasizes this in <a href="/romans/1-16.htm">Romans 1:16</a> , where he writes, "I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, then to the Greek."<br><br><b>Faith and Obedience</b><br><br>Faith and obedience to God's Word are also portrayed as all-important in the life of a believer. <a href="/hebrews/11-6.htm">Hebrews 11:6</a> states, "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him." This verse highlights the necessity of faith as foundational to a relationship with God. Additionally, <a href="/james/1-22.htm">James 1:22</a> urges believers to "Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves," stressing the all-important nature of living out one's faith through actions.<br><br><b>The Kingdom of God</b><br><br>The Kingdom of God is presented as an all-important reality that believers are called to seek above all else. In <a href="/matthew/6-33.htm">Matthew 6:33</a> , Jesus instructs, "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you." This directive places the pursuit of God's Kingdom and His righteousness as the primary focus of a believer's life, promising that God will provide for their needs as they prioritize what is truly all-important.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>While the term "all-important" may not appear verbatim in the Bible, the Scriptures are replete with themes and teachings that underscore the ultimate importance of God's sovereignty, love, salvation through Christ, faith, obedience, and the Kingdom of God. These elements form the core of the biblical message and are essential for understanding the Christian faith.<a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/bounds/the_reality_of_prayer/iii_prayerthe_all-important_essence_of.htm"><span class="l">Prayer --The <b>All</b>-<b>Important</b> Essence of Earthly Worship</span></a> <br><b>...</b> III.
