If we do not have the desire to seek God then we will not find Him. If we do not diligently seek after God then we will not go to Heaven. It is a very simple concept yet so many do not take it seriously. If your heart is not in it then you will fall short and end up in Hell. That is the simple yet horrific reality of how important it is regarding your heart’s motivation and what you are seeking after in this life.
Jesus’ blood paid the ultimate price that was due for our sins. If you have a genuine faith in His sacrifice and have grabbed hold of it then you will have a life that outwardly shows that you are fervent seeking after Him. If this is real in your life then your life would stand in contrast against the world as the heathen seek their own and not the things of Christ.
If you do not seek first the Kingdom of God you will not find it. If you do not seek after Him you will not find Him. This seeking must have a sincere motivation within the heart. This is a burning desire that has eternal rewards.

Jeremiah 29:12-14
