Motivation For Commitment Daniel 1:1-8 Winter 2018 Gospel Meeting Fifth Street East Church of Christ Dan Richardson

Motivations For Commitment Motive = “an inner drive, impulse, that causes one to act in a certain way” (Webster’s New World Dictionary) - all kinds of motives behind people’s actions (wealth, approval, position, appearance) - what motivates a Christian to live a committed life to the end? - A study of Daniel and his friends reveal challenges and motivations to live committed to God: Daniel 1:1-7

Motivations For Commitment Motivations for commitment from Daniel A. Taking personal responsibility: Daniel 1:8 1. He didn’t watch what others did before deciding: Luke 14:26; John 12:42-43 2. Daniel’s purposed heart was a determination to please God without compromise. He overcame: - fear of king’s punishment - temptation for new, better food - blaming God for his troubles - following majority of Jewish boys - fear of feeling alone (no parents, etc.)

Motivations For Commitment 3. Our motive for commitment should be out of a heart of thanksgiving and praise to God: Colossians 3:17; Ephesians 1:3; Revelation 4:11; James 1:17 B. Understanding God has a purpose for our lives 1. Many give little to no thought to why we’re here: Ecclesiastes 12:13 2. With all of Daniel’s governmental responsibilities, he still put God first: Daniel 6 - he was deliberate, unashamed: 10, 1 Peter 4:16 - humble in prayer: 9:3ff.; 1 Peter 5:6-7 - took time to be holy: 1 Peter 1:14-15

Motivations For Commitment - he was filled with gratitude to God - he studied God’s word: Daniel 9:2 - he was determined nothing would stop him from serving God 3. We must be clear regarding our purpose in life: Ephesians 2:10; Philippians 1:21; 3:8-11; 1 Peter 2:9; Titus 2:11-12 C. Knowing That God Can Work In Our Lives: Daniel 1:9, 17; 2:47-49 1. Trust in God’s power and providence in our lives: Romans 8:28; Philippians 2:12-13; 4:13; Ephesians 3:14-21

Motivations For Commitment D. A Good Influence On Others: Daniel 6:14-16; Matthew 5:13-16; Galatians 6:10 F. The kingdom of God: Daniel 2:44; John 18:36; Colossians 1:13; 2 Corinthians 5:12-14; Romans 5:8 G. To Not Be A Hypocrite: Daniel 6:4; 2 Timothy 3:5; 1 John 1:6, 8, 10 H. The Recompense of God: Daniel 5:24-28; 2 Corinthians 5:10
