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)
