"What is your Motive"

II Corinthians 5:14 "For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead"

When was the last time you considered what Christ did for you? When you think about what He has done for you, what does it cause you to do? Do you love Him more? Do you want to live your life for Him? Do you want to serve Him in a greater capacity? We ought to!

When we come to personal witnessing, what are our motives? The need of mankind or our love of Christ? The Bible says that "the love of Christ constraineth us" When we have the motive of man's need, we pick and choose which man, women, or child we will or will not witness to. But when our motive is to obey Christ out of our love for Him, it doesn't matter the man, woman, or child - we will witness to them out of our love for the Savior.

We need a new motive - the Love of Christ! Examine your motives today, and get a fresh look at what He has commanded us to do, to win the lost. Do it today.
