What motivates you to continue an activity over a long period, for example, school, work, or personal goal?
What motivates you to be faithful to the Lord, day in and day out, long-term? Knowing we should do some- thing is good, but knowing does not always lead to doing.
2 Cor. 5:14, 15 Love is a powerful motivator. Christ’s love for us urges us on to live for Him.
Do you sincerely believe God loves you?
Why, or why not?
1 Jn. 4:16 What one thing could you do to help you abide continually in the Lord’s love for you?
Thank God for healthy emotions we associate with love. But if we know the Lord, His Spirit indwells us, and we can choose to love the Lord and live for Him.
2 Cor. 5:17 It’s devotion more than emotion.
We will all appear before the judgment seat of Christ to receive what is due us for the things we do here.
2 Cor. 5:9, 10 How we live matters, now, and later.
2 Cor. 5:20 We represent the Lord, let’s be faithful.
