Last night an atheist posed an answer to me that was very good and brought the issue to mind of why Christians serve God.
If you are a believer, you believe that God is real. Since God is real to you, God has attributes and has done things that make Him worthy of your genuine love. IF YOU ARE A BELIEVER, WHAT IS YOUR MOTIVATION IN SERVICE TO GOD? If you serve God to
get yourself into Heaven, or to keep yourself from going to hell, then you really dont serve God genuinely out of love for Him, you are looking out for #1. The point the Atheist made was, if you are not serving God for reward, or to keep from going to hell, what is the point in serving God? THE IRONY OF THIS IS, CHRIST SACRIFICED HIMSELF FOR US, AND MANY PEOPLE ARE ONLY SACRIFICING TO GET SOMETHING FOR THEMSELVES.
NO WONDER MANY BELIEVE CHRISTIANS ARE HYPOCRITS. I THANK THE PERSON WHO WOKE ME UP, I SERVE GOD BECAUSE I LOVE HIM, WHETHER THERE IS REWARD OR NOT. AMEN.
