The motivation is out of LOVE. It is how we obey,it comes from a heart of love which God gives us.
The reason I ask is what are the first three fruits of the Holy Spirit? Are they not LOVE,JOY,and PEACE. They are the fruits that show the Holy Spirit is dwelling in us.
Galatians 5
[SUP]22 [/SUP]But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,[SUP]23 [/SUP]gentleness and self-control.Against such things there is no law.

It is very very hard to see the tone in what i am writing, its just words on a screen. People will read it however which way they want to. What i can say is this, I do not seek to say I am better. I am saying I found a way that is better, than just 'believing' Even recently I heard a message that simply believing is enough, nothing else must be done. But how does that help me to live for God? It cannot, it will not help! Once i discovered Holiness Theology my life has never been the same, I only wish I found it sooner..sadly most churches here do not teach Holiness, it took a while for me to discover it.
So I am sorry, but true love speaks the truth. I do not know why you'd want me to lie or possibly lie by withholding things needing to be said, But that is not a loving response. And if it offends you, well..that's not the intent. You do not see my heart, but you cannot justify outright sin. That's unbiblical. If that upsets you,well God wanted that you be upset then. Take it with him. It's his scriptures I am quoting. Read 1 john 3 in its entirety for yourself, not the 'one verse' someone copied and pasted here. And you tell me if Living for God is contrary to scripture.
