1) Christ crucified was the ultimate expression of Love and until that moment, receiving what was promised in the word was more transactional than it was personal.

2) As true Bible believers our focus must be on biblical truths and values not moments in the present.

3)I do what I do because of love, not duty. Earning is proving some thing to someone to make yourself more valuable. God already said your value when he sacrificed His son for you. So never feel motivated because of duty or compulsion to prove. My motivation is founded on what Jesus did for me.
