What motivates you to obey God? Are you following Jesus for the rewards and blessings He promises? What happens when suffering, trouble, and pain come along in our lives and it is more difficult to obey God?
Christians should follow God not because we get temporal blessings in this life, but because following God is the right thing to do, because God’s greatness demands it, because we love Him, and because His promises will always find their fulfillment in eternity.
Listen as guest preacher Ryan Koehlinger teaches us from Job 1-2 in his message, “Job: Facing Difficulty, Finding Hope.”
• God increases our faith over the course of our lives.
• God always gives us the grace we need to endure.
