We bring you today’s message from Pastor Creflo Dollar, which is titled “How to Be Motivated by God.” —Sunday Service The text of the message is from Ephesians 2:10.
In this message, Pastor Dollar contrasts devotion and love for Christ with service and work for Christ. Whichever is a priority—service, works, and labor—is important to God, but we also know that devotion and love for Christ are important too. There is a reason why we have to bring balance to this area: we don’t have to think that, under the grace of God, we should avoid doing good works; we’re held accountable.
If we become just so consumed with good works and we don’t have devotion and love for God, we are to have a relationship with God, and Christianity is not a religion; it was never intended to be one. It’s a relationship with God. We’ve learned how to do church, but we still need to learn how to do life, which is an everyday walk with God, so that God can fulfill and do everything he promised in your life. We’ve got to have that relationship with him on a day-to-day basis.
We hear people trying to achieve service for others, and they say you’re a good person if you have service for others. This is very popular these days, not only in the church but also in dealing with foundations, clubs, and other organizations. Both moral and Christian conduct are often accepted without question, but service may be the highest ideal. What’s not true about the Christian Life Service being the highest idea Service is not the highest ideal when it comes to Christianity. We have to understand that we are saved by grace. Paul said we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus, and then we were created for good works. God has ordained for us to be created and to walk in these good works, and good works are as important as love and devotion to God are.
As Christians, we have to balance the two in our everyday lives; we have to have a great relationship with God in order to walk with him.
