Motivation

There is a difference between admitting that God is the only giver of satisfaction, and living the Christian life for that satisfaction. This difference is discussed in Jeremiah 2:12-13. Piper practically builds His theology on this difference. Is the latter sinful? That is the question that must be answered when discussing Piper. Does Hebrews 12:1-2 relate to this? What was the joy that was set before Christ? What was so valuable to Him that he endured the suffering at Calvary? The answers to these questions hold the key to the gospel. What was the motivation behind the cross? What is the motive behind my life? Your comments would be appreciated...
