Motivation

“Motivation”
    
    What is your motivation for sharing the Gospel? What is your motivation to live the Christian example around your coworkers, friends, and family? I know that when I was baptized into Christ, the Lord added me to His body, the church (Acts 2:41 & 47; Eph. 1:22-23; 1 Cor. 12:12-13). Furthermore, I know that the church was not an accident, it was a part of the eternal purpose of God. Part of the purpose of the Lord church is that the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the world (Eph. 3:10-11). Part of my motivation is knowing that my example is a light for the Lord. “Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven” (Matt. 5:16). Even more than that, I know what the outcome will be for those who do not know God. When Jesus is revealed, retribution will be dealt to those who do not know God and those who do not obey the gospel (2 Thess. 1:7-8). Why did the Lord command the great commission? Because He knew what the outcome was for those who do not know Him. If I, as just a part of the body of Christ, don’t share the gospel, let my light shine, and take the opportunity to study the Bible with people, who will? This is my motivation. I would love to know what yours is. I love you all!
