Matthew 5:19 - "Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of
heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called
great in the kingdom of heaven."
As a minister of the Lord, I do a lot of preaching and teaching. Does this make me great in the kingdom of God? Yes, if I practice what I teach and preach. If I don't practice what I teach and preach, I am not great. Actually, I will give God and His church a bad reputation. People often have bad opinion of the church because of believers hypocrisy, all the more so if it is a leader.
You may be doing much for God. You may have a great ministry. Yon may have made many sacrifices for the Gospel. Yet, this does no make you great in God's eyes. What makes you great in God's eyes is doing what he asked you to do. It is living a righteous life and a life of love.
