The motivation in Christian life is to know Christ and glory him. Don’t count work as an end of themselves.
To glorify God is to desire to make clear and visible to all people the nearness and the overwhelming power, authority and goodness of the Holy One. To accomplish this is to renounced ourselves (our pride, knowledge, privilege, rights) and aspire to glorify God.
So we have devotion each to know God. We ought to pray because we want to know him. We ought to be under the teaching of His word because we want to know Him.
This is the motivation of everything. This is what we were created for, to know God. This is our purpose in life.
If our passion is to know more Christ, Bible study and going to church service becomes important because in it we will know Christ more and enjoy Him forever. We pray because we need to talk to him. Work must not be our goal in life. It doesn’t mean we don’t have to work. What I mean is that, we don’t have to count works as worth anything compared with knowing Christ.
