How Do Fear, Love and Gospel Motivate Our Ministry?

May 29, 2016 Series: 2 Corinthians

Topic: 2 Corinthians Passage: 2 Corinthians 5:11–15

How Do Fear, Love and [the] Gospel Motivate Our Ministry?
2Cor 5:11-15

Paul describes what motivated him to fulfill this ministry:

1. Coming to know the Fear of the Lord: (11-13)

2. Being controlled by the Love of Christ: (14a)  

3. Understanding Gospel implications: (14b-15)

Our Response? Imitate Paul:

  • Live in light of the 2nd Coming of Christ (fear of the Lord) 
  • Let the love of Christ control your heart (preach the gospel to it)
  • See every person through the lens of the gospel (cf v. 16)
