There are numerous choices with everything in life.

Life keeps moving faster and faster.

We only have one life on Earth, so we must choose the right priorities.

What is the best way for us to invest our lives?

In order to live for the things that really count, we must consider four factors.

Factors to help us determine our priorities:

Consider the Lord’s return (1 Corinthians 15:51–57).
- Paul believed in the certainty of Jesus’ second coming.
- What are we living for?
- God tells us to be faithful where He calls us.
Consider the Lord’s work (1 Corinthians 15:58).
- God performed a work for us on the cross: salvation; He continues to perform a work in us now: sanctification.
- God wants to perform another work through us: service.
- We are called to continue the work of the Lord.
- Nothing hurts the work of the Lord like undependable people.
Consider the Lord’s people (1 Corinthians 16:1–4).
- There are three words that summarize our relationship with God’s people: fellowship, worship, and stewardship.
- Churches are local assemblies of God’s people.
- We have a responsibility to our own local church.
- You can’t separate doctrine and duty.
Consider the Lord’s will (1 Corinthians 16:5–9).
- We don’t know what our lives will hold.
- In doing the will of God we are building a life that counts.
