Who Comes First?

Who Comes First?

According to the Bible what should be your First, Second, Third (and so on) Priority between: God, yourself, work, family, friends and church?

First Who

Well, the bible doesn't really give a specific order for prioritizing these. However, we do know that god instructed his people that first and for most you should love the lord your god with all your heart, mind, and soul. So obviously the bible says to put god first. You should then love your neighbor as yourself.

Analyzing that, we know that you must love yourself quite abit or loving your neighbor as yourself means nothing. But then, you feed yourself, breathe, and sleep so you definitely love yourself allot, enough to base a command off of. So next would be self. Since your family is part of you, you and your wife are of one flesh and blood according to genesis, then family comes next. Self comes first because if you die or become ill, you cannot take care of your family.

After family, I assume friends come next, then everyone else. Church isn't really given a priority.
