What drives you?\u00a0 What’s your main motivation in life?\u00a0 Do you enjoy being alive?\u00a0 Or are you bored or depressed or unfulfilled?\u00a0 What trips your trigger?<\/p>\n
What about you Christians…why do you live a life of love and purity?\u00a0 Why do you live a holy life and always make righteous choices? (By the way, if you’re not living that way, it proves you don’t belong to Jesus?\u00a0 If you are a true Christian your life will produce the fruit of the Spirit and you will rid your life of sin.\u00a0 You can’t love God and commit evil against him at the same time.)\u00a0 Anyway, why do you live for God?\u00a0 Because you love to or because you have to?<\/p>\n
How do you think God wants you to be motivated?\u00a0 Fear of the Lord is the BEGINNING of wisdom.\u00a0 But love casts out fear.\u00a0 So if you are motivated by love–if you enjoy living for God–then you have no need to be afraid because your love will drive you to live a life that pleases God rather than incites his wrath.<\/p>\n
So, which do you prefer?<\/p>\n
