10 Clues to your True Motivation
Ask yourself these questions. Seriously, all of them. Take a minute to think about them.
With which are you absorbed?
- (A) Your personal righteousness, or (B) the vicarious righteousness of Christ?
- (A) The condition of your faith, or (B) Christ’s faithful obedience on your behalf?
- (A) Your self-crucifixion, or (B) His crucifixion?
- (A) Your new life, or (B) His sinless life?
- (A) Your experience of Christ, or (B) His experience for you?
- (A) Your love for God, or (B) His love for you?
- (A) The depth of your personal surrender, or (B) the depth of Christ’s personal surrender?
- (A) Your victorious life, or (B) His victorious life on your behalf?
- (A) Your attainment, or (B) His atonement?
- (A) The work of the Spirit in you, or (B) the work of Christ for you?
The right answers are obvious, but what’s under the skin?
My first reaction to these: Wow! Oh my! It’s incredible how I can be caught up in “spiritual things” but still not have the right focus.
