Religion & Spirituality
The greater the understanding of our sin and the love that Jesus lavished on us the greater the motivation will be for us to live a life not to try to gain favor or acceptance from God but to live a life out of love and gratitude for what He's done for us. It's a much better motivator. Our life stops being about trying to climb a ladder of acceptance from God and everybody and it becomes an offering of thanksgiving. The pressure to perform goes away and it's replaced with the pleasure to live in joy and peace and with purpose for God's glory. This is something that we must preach to ourselves everyday. It’s the essence of the Gospel and we tend to slip into performance mode and forget it. We need to keep coming back to it every time we forget it.
