In the Bible, there’s only one place where Jesus says there is one thing that is needed for Christians to do. This is so important to the Christian, that it becomes life altering, as we recalibrate our goals to do God’s will, thus bringing greater glory to God and growth to the Christian. When we better understand what Jesus teaches in Luke chapter 10, verses 38-42, it will greatly help us to live a better, more fulfilled life in Christ!
