Love is the Greatest Motivator
Sep 7, 2025 • Fr Elijah Estafanous
Fear may wake us up for a moment, but it cannot carry us for a lifetime. In this message, Fr. Elijah unpacks Matthew 24:12: “And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.”
When love grows cold in our families, our churches, and our own walk with God, division and confusion follow. But Christ reminds us that perfect love casts out fear. True motivation for repentance, endurance, and unity comes not from being afraid of the end times, but from abiding in the love of Jesus.
Discover:
How love slowly fades when we neglect our relationship with God.
Why fear is only a short-term motivator, while love transforms us.
What it means to abide in Christ daily and cling to Him like a lifesaver.
How love fuels forgiveness, service, and perseverance in a broken world.
This talk is a call to examine our hearts: Has our love for Christ grown cold, or are we clinging to Him with all we have?
