On what to focus?

Step 2 of this week’s lesson “Analyze Your Actions” takes it main point from Job 31:5-6, 9-10. The focus in the LifeWay material is on the consequences of our actions, but what about the motivations? Read the story of Dirk Willems and call attention to his motivation in rescuing the pursuing guard. His compassion led him to do what was right, although the consequence was certain death.

When you “do what is right” are you more motivated by the potential consequences, or like Paul, are you motivated by the love of Christ? (2 Cor 5:14).

As a teacher what are you going to focus on in Job 31:5-6, 9-10?
