“For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,”
Titus 2:11-12 NIV
We all march to a slightly different drummer in our lives because of who we are and what we have experienced. Due to these circumstances, we find very different things will motivate us to do things, plan things and to live our lives a bit better than before. If we are motivated, we will not only accomplish change, but will actively seek it.
The scripture today shows what is the root cause of motivation for believers. When we were lost souls, we came to an understanding that we were in desperate need of salvation. Due to this reality, our salvation means life in the most profound ways. Our hearts are now growing day by day in the love of Jesus. It is this constant presence of God’s goodness that drives us to be better. Why, because we love our Savior, and want to be like him in every way!
Use the healing, the restoration of the cross to motivate you to live apart from the from the foolishness of this world and to be the bright light of Jesus to others. He cares for you- care for others so they find their heavenly motivation!
In Christ
