Now our real life is in Christ. Therefore, we must seek Christ. (Col 3:1-4)
Col 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
We must seek Christ, the righteousness of God, and strive to spread the gospel. (Mt 6:33)
Mt 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Jesus, the Christ, is coming soon. (Rev 22:20)
