GOD'S PEOPLE ARE MOTIVATED
BY GRACE
We do not motivate God's people by guilt, fear of
punishment, or promise of reward. God's people are motivated by love,
gratitude, and grace. Anything given or done for the service
of God that is performed out of a sense of duty, because of fear, or in hope of
reward is an abomination to God. It would be better left undone. God
will have a willing people to serve him, a people who give and do what they can
for the honor of his name because they want to.
