Bible Topics: Motivation

Definition: The compelling force, such as a reason, emotion, need or desire, that causes a person to act or behave in a certain way.

1. As Christians, God's love is to be our motivation in all we do.

2. Our love for the Lord should motivate us to want to please Him.

3. Next to our love for God, our motivation should be unselfish love for others.

4. Our carnal natures lack true godly motivation, but God can transform our hearts and we can become new creatures in Christ!

5. We should not be motivated by desire for personal gain or self-glorification.

6. Nor should we be motivated by man-pleasing.

7. Worldly motivations are often for the wrong reasons.

8. Our service to God and others is nothing without our love.

9. We should also be motivated by a desire to glorify the Lord and to exalt His Name and not ourselves.

10. Self-sacrificial love comes from a grateful heart and a deep realization of all that the Lord has done for us.

11. God's Word inspires and fuels our motivation.

12. Jesus' example of being motivated by His love for God and others:

13. The Heavenly vision helps keep us motivated and moving in the right direction.

14. The Lord promises eternal rewards for all that we do out of love.

Tess and James Arendt
James & Tess Arendt

My name is James Arendt. I was raised in the Hegewisch neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, served in the USAF from 1970 to 1974, and became a full-time missionary for Christ living 40 years in Japan, 3.5 years in Russia, and a few months in other countries such as Finland, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, South Korea, Taiwan and mainland China where I also served the King of Kings, Jesus, as an Ambassador for His Kingdom. My full bio.

If you like this website, you can show your appreciation by sending me a gift toward my support. My wife Tess and I moved from the island of Guam USA in June 2023 to the city of Allen in the province of Northern Samar, one of the poorer provinces in the Philippines. My only work is maintaining my websites, Deep Truths, and James Japan which costs me $300 per year now. And Tess is ministering to the local people giving them regular Bible Studies in three groups, children, teenagers and adults.

Photos of Tess's Bible study.

You may like my James Japan site as well because it covers subjects that are not covered in Deep Truths such as things like the Climate Change Hoax and the COVID-19 death-jabs.
