Believers in Yeshua Jesus are under the sweetest and strongest constraint to do what we do. It is not the fear of going to hell or the desire for reward that compels Believers to serve God. The everlasting love of Christ led Him to redeem us by His life, His death, and His resurrection. This love is shed abroad in our hearts. Believers are motivated by the love of Christ --- His love for us and our love for Him. Amen. ℛℒ
