Why you do what you do will eventually determine what you do. Our motives are our reasons for doing what we do. When our motives are wrong, results are usually not what we expect them to be. Wrong motives affect the eternal quality of what we do. When the Bible says our works will be tested, one of the biggest tests will be our motives. The true or correct motive should be our love for God. “If you love Me, keep my commandments”, God says to us. We will delight to do His will if we love Him. Whenever things go wrong, one of the areas we all seem to need correction is usually in our motive area. Because of the fallen nature we tend to be selfish and greedy. Let the love of God replace those vices in us and do it because we love God and His people.
1 Corinthians 4:5 “Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the heart. Then each one’s praise will come from God.”
