The goal and challenge of life is to aspire to build up the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Then are all the blessings of God ours. “In that memorable Sermon on the Mount, the Master set forth in the Beatitudes, some of the conditions upon which citizenship in the kingdom of God is predicated. And in continuing he said: ‘… seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.’ (Matt. 6:33.) The promise here is that those who seek the kingdom of God will find righteousness, and all things that should be added unto them” (Matthew Cowley, Matthew Cowley Speaks [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 1954], 38).
