HEAVEN: A REWARD MOTIVATION

If a person was to pinpoint the single most important reason for all that God does for us both physically and spiritually, my conclusion is that He wants us all to go to Heaven. In the words of the apostle Peter in 2 Peter 3:9, “He does not want any to perish but everyone to come to repentance.” Now, to qualify for that trip to the celestial city, first we must be redeemed (bought back) from the bondage of sin. God has provided a way of us to be redeemed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and so He adds incentives in the Bible to motivate us in that direction. If all men and women thought alike, then God would only have to use one incentive to try and spark our spiritual interest. However, we are all different, and because of our differing personalities, God uses various motives to help us see reality.

Some people can only be encouraged from the negative stand point, therefore our Lord warns us of Hell and its impending doom for the disobedient. Others can be reached by compassion, so God tells us of His great demonstration of love in John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son...” Because of this, He urges us to serve Him faithfully until death.

Still others are stimulated by reward motivation. The incentive to live righteously is living eternally with the Lord. The proper incentive should cause one to take stock of himself and look introspectively into his own life.

God wants us all to go to Heaven, thus through His word He tries to stimulate that desire through different avenues. My hope and desire is that He reaches all that would be receptive to His word.

ABHOR

One sure lesson history teaches us: the more association we have with evil the less evil it appears. The commonness of vice makes it seem harmless and respectable. But neither ugliness gets pretty nor wrong gets right by association; we just get more accustomed to it. We change – not the evil influencing us. Thus, through a gradual process, environment can tempt the purest to pursue things once despised.
Lest we come to adore what we not abhor, may we not take these simple but deadly steps: associating with evil, condoning evil, approving evil, embracing evil, addiction to evil. “Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good” (Romans 12:9).

MEMORIAL DAY: NOT JUST ABOUT VACATIONS

This day of remembrance is an expression of deep gratitude
for men and women who gave their lives in service to others.

From time to time you hear someone mention on television that Memorial Day is the unofficial beginning of the summer vacationing season. Most of the focus is on boating, barbecuing, enjoying family time, and relaxing. Sometimes we take for granted that the holiday is more than an opportunity to take a break from work. It’s an important national reminder that the freedom to do all these things was born out of costly personal sacrifice for thousands of American soldiers and their families.

Across our nation, those in touch with this fact will express a deep gratitude for men and women who gave their lives in service to others. Jesus said in John 15:13, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” Those words remind us that sacrifice is one of the purest expressions of love.

As Christians, Memorial Day also calls us to remember. Throughout Scripture, God often told His people to pause and remember His faithfulness and the sacrifices that made their blessings possible. We honor those who served our country by refusing to take our freedoms for granted. We honor them by living with integrity, kindness, and faithfulness to God.

This national holiday can also remind us of another sacrifice: the sacrifice of Christ on the cross. While brave soldiers gave their lives so we could enjoy earthly freedom, Jesus gave His life so we could experience eternal freedom from sin (John 8:36). His resurrection assures us that death is not the end for those who are truly His disciples.

As you gather with family and friends this Memorial Day, take a moment to pray for military families, thank a veteran, and remember those who never came home. May we live in a way that honors both the sacrifices made for our nation and the Savior who gave everything for our souls.
