And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not nullify the grace of God; for if jus- tification comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing. (Galatians 2:20-21) Grace to you and peace from God our Father, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Amen. I used to think that if T were a success- ful businessman I would have everything I wanted in life. In my understanding, being successful in my career equated to happi- ness throughout all facets of my life. I was motivated by my work, with the hope that my success in the workplace would allow me to purchase the things I wanted which in turn would make me happy. It’s what our society labels as “the American dream” and it motivated me. 2 Have you ever thought about what mo- tivates you to be a disciple of Jesus; a fol- lower of Christ; a believer of God? What draws you into the faith? What provides you the inspiration to continue day after day to model your life after Jesus’ example in the Scriptures; to make a difference in the lives of others by extending the mes- sage of God’s never-ending love for his children? The American culture provides for us many things that act as motivators in our lives: money, power, prestige, posses- sions and social status. These things and others motivate us to work harder, to do more and to further participate in various things in order to get ahead in society or in order to scratch a particular itch in our lives. In this passage from Paul’s letter to the Galatian church, he speaks of that which motivated him to share the message of the gospel with others. “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me,” Paul writes as he conveys the inspiring force be- hind his ministry. For Paul, Christ’s pres- ence within him motivated him to tell others about Jesus. It is because of his faith in Jesus and because Jesus gave himself through his life, death and resurrection that Paul continued to follow him. Paul’s moti- vation stemmed from his faith in Jesus and Fellowship & Faith KINGS MOUNTAIN Long Creek Presbyterian Church 701 Long Creek Road 704-629-4406 Love Valley Baptist Church 2032 Bethlehem Road 704-730-0075 Macedonia Baptist Church 1101 S.

Cansler Street 704-739-2606 New Camp Creek Baptist Church his understanding p that Jesus died for his sake and that be- cause of his death, he | gives us life eternal. This is what moti- vated Paul to be- come a believer and a follower of Christ. I fear the church today has lost some of the motivating factors that stir up in us the will to continue in the faith. The church has lost some of its inspiration for doing ministry as it becomes more difficult, more time consuming and requires much more effort. We must cling to the motivation that is our faith and that is salvation so that we are never absent from the will to follow Christ. For it is by his love for us that we an even experience the joys and the fruits of our ministry in the first place. Let us hold fast to the motiva- tion that is Christ’s love for us this day. Amen.
