What would you do if you couldn't fail?  Would you compete in a sporting event?  Maybe you'd make a bold career move?  In many ways, this question is purely academic.  Yet it does help to identify our motivations.  

​

What's drives you?  Admittedly, this is a broad question.  It could apply in many ways.  This Sunday, we're applying this question to the Christian's walk through life. 

​

We absolutely cannot fail at being and doing everything God intends.  Not unless we limit ourselves...  Sin, pride, apathy, contentment, and others can stop us in our tracks. 

 

But love. 

 

The Apostle Paul said of his motivation, "the love of God compels us" (2 Cor. 5:14).  It wasn't comfort that drove him.  The status quo didn't direct him.  Love did.  God's love through Him, for others. 

 

Christ's victory over death belongs to Christians.  And this victory is complete.  Everything this life contains must bow before the cross and empty grave. 

 

We're guaranteed success.  Not for living in the lap of luxury or finding fame.  But for completing our mission.  We cannot fail when the love of God compels us.   

 

"Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation" (2 Cor. 5:18).
