The necessity of salvation supersedes any other thing this transient life can offer. God created us to enter His kingdom. He did not create us so that we will be habitual churchgoers. He wants us to experience salvation. That is why Jesus told this man of power and reputation that except he is born again, his religiousness will amount to nothingness.
John 3:5 “Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.”
