Answering The Four Crucial Questions Of Life
In order to find the answers to the four crucial questions of life, we need to go back to the beginning of beginnings, which is in the book of Genesis.
Question One (The Most Important Question Of Your Life): "WHY?"
In Gen. 1:1 we read: "In the beginning God..." Everything starts with God. If everything is OF God, then everything is FOR God. God, not man, is the focus of all creation. 1 John 4:8 states that God is love. Therefore the only thorough MOTIVE for any action in our lives is LOVE FOR GOD.
We first love God and then man. If we truly love God, we will truly love our brother. If we love people more than God, we will fall into the deadly trap of humanism. If we first love God, we will be filled with His love, which will overflow to (truly) loving people.
If my motive for any ministry, correction or any other action is anything other than love for God, then that action isn't born of God. We obey, because we love. We give, because we love. We sacrifice, because we love.
Our MOTIVE is our LOVE FOR GOD.
