Maintaining Motivation to Serve Jesus

In allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us, we can stay the course in service to Jesus Christ. We are able to work out our salvation, not so much because God works but because He works in us (Philippians 2:12-13). However, we get sidetracked. We need to stay focused. Following are areas of focus pulled from 2 Corinthians 4 and 5 that will help us maintain motivation in serving Jesus Christ.

1. Focus on eternity (4:16-5:8).
2. Focus on pleasing God (5:9).
3. Focus on Judgment (5:10).
4. Focus on fearing God (5:11).
5. Focus on Christ’s love (5:12-14).
6. Focus on His grace (5:16-17).
7. Focus on the Gospel message (5:18-20).
8. Focus on our Lord’s sacrifice (5:15, 21).

I encourage you to study these passages and meditate upon each one. Remember, we have reason to be motivated to serve Jesus Christ!
