Christo-centric- having Christ at the center
A Christ-centered (or Christocentric) life is one that is focused upon a commitment to Jesus Christ as Lord.
At the core of every human decision is a motivation.
Some people are motivated by the quest for pleasure or money.
Some center their entire lives on a goal, a job, or even their families.
These things are not wrong in themselves; however, that which we center our lives on can become our god.
We must put God First
We must keep God First
He is preeminent
God is alive and active.
In contrast to idols, he is uncreated and the source of all continuing life.
Is Christ the center in your life, or is a person or group of people the center?
If Christ isn’t at the center, what needs to change?
Present with God and creation from the beginning—firstborn of creation.
2. Made peace between God and humanity by overcoming death—firstborn from the dead.
3. Unified broken people with each other and with creation—first in the church (the head).
4. Declares us holy and blameless before God—first to fully reconcile us with God.
The human heart was designed for worship, and if it does not worship God, it will worship something else.
If we are not Christ-centered, we will be centered on something else.
Worship is measured by the amount of time, money, and emotional energy expended.
Our gods can be identified by the level of passionate commitment they evoke in us, and, after a while, we begin to resemble them.
We talk about them, think about them, dream about them, and scheme to spend more time with them.
People who know us best usually know where our deepest passions lie because worship is hard to hide.

God is the Maker and Supreme Ruler of Heaven and Earth.
He is Alpha and Omega.
He is the beginning and ending of time.
He is the Author and Finisher of our faith.
But ultimately He is a Spirit.
God is an infinite and intelligent Spirit.
Ver.

God is spirit.—
The mode of life must correspond to the object of Life.
Hence it is now become the law of life for all worshippers, that they must worship God in spirit and in truth.
Every other sort of living is thereby done away, as well as, or in proportion as, the provisional system of religion.
The mode of living is to be conformed to the mode of religion.
God as the living Spirit, and as pure Spirit, is present to His worshippers,
God is pure spirit, absolute spirit, in opposition to all materialistic and materializing conceptions.
This clearly implies that the anthropomorphic expressions of the Bible must not be taken literally.
Tertullian ascribed to God a body but perhaps he meant it in the sense of substance.
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: the transcendental, immaterial, rational existence that constitutes the essence of supernatural entities such as God, angels and human souls.
