This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
That is, let your first and chief care be to promote the kingdom of grace in this world, and to secure the kingdom of glory in the next; and in order unto both, seek after an universal holiness and righteousness, both of heart and life, and then fear not the want of these outward comforts, they shall be added in measure, though not to satiate; for health, though not for surfeit.
Observe, 1. That Christians must here on earth set themselves to seek heaven or the kingdom of God.
2. That God's kingdom cannot be sought without God;s righteousness: holiness is the only way to happiness.
3. That heaven, or the kingdom of God, must be sought in the first place, with our chief care and principal endeavour.
4. That heaven being once secured by us, all earthly things will be superadded by God, as he sees needful and convenient for us.
