Religious Cults & False Prophets~ Discussions and DebatesMeaning of lifeJesus endured the cross for the joy that was set before him. Our motivation is loving obedience. We love Him therefore we want to please Him. But, when the pain sets in, we also look to the reward that we are pursuing that is beyond the pain. God rewards those who diligently seek him. We do indeed seek God out of our love for Him, but even when the feelings aren't there at the moment we still seek Him because of the promised reward. We seek Him when it seems He is being silent. We seek him when it is difficult because he will reward us. Jesus looked to the reward of the joy set before him when he was enduring pain, but His motivation for doing it was His love. It is not wrong to believe that God will reward us. We are just trusting what he says. When we look for reward, we look to God and not to men. The humans we love may never give us anything in return, but God will. |
