I believe the love of God should be the motivation for what we do with the brief life we have in this world. Love is the greatest source of motivation. Love is a greater motivation than obligation. Many believers treat their relationship with Christ as one of obligation more so than love, but I believe that as we mature in knowing Him, our love for Him deepens and becomes a greater source of motivation than obligation.

a. Why do we serve others? Because we love Jesus who loved us first.
b. Why do we speak His gospel? Because we love Jesus who loved us first.
c. Why do we care for and honor our families? Because we love Jesus who loved us first. d. Why do we work with integrity? Because we love Jesus who loved us first.
e. Why do we maintain hope in this world? Because we love Jesus who loved us first.
f. Why do we suffer for the name of Christ? Because we love Jesus who loved us first.
g. Why are we joyfully sacrificial? Because we love Jesus who loved us first.

Jesus loves His church. We are His body, and He prayed that we would believe in Him, live in unity, see His glory, and that the love of God would be within us.
