what you do for God?
The highest motivation for godly conduct comes not from fear of hell but from love of God. It is because God has saved us by grace entirely apart from any merit in ourselves that we love and want to please Him. Moreover, we recognize the importance of what we have become a part of by God's grace--the kingdom of God on earth--and we want to advance the goals of that kingdom. James Montgomery Boice
Thank you for this quote--love J.M. Boice! I've been thinking and reading on this A LOT lately as I have several friends struggling to understand and embrace a Biblical perspective on this very matter!
