Week 10 Devo – FRIDAY
Warnings may keep us from sin in the short-term, but promises motivate obedience for the long-haul. Jesus addressed the churches about their sin and warned them to turn away from it, but He concluded each letter with a promise.
The Christian life is a race that requires endurance. We are strengthened to press on when our eyes are on the finish line. The promise of victory motivates perseverance. Jesus endured and conquered, and those who belong to Him imitate His victory. If we will carry our crosses and die to self, we, too, shall take our seats with Him in glory.
How would you live differently if your focus were on the reward?
