How does grace motivate believers to wake up spiritually?

Answered in 1 source

Grace motivates believers to awaken spiritually by reminding them of the nearness of their salvation and the hope of eternal joy.

In the sermon, the preacher discusses how the motivation for waking up spiritually does not stem from threats or shame but from the free grace of God. Paul’s argument in Romans 13:11 emphasizes that our salvation is nearer than when we first believed; this hope informs us that we should not remain in a state of spiritual drowsiness. A true understanding of grace compels believers to respond, as it reveals that their future salvation brings joy and perfect conformity to Christ, eliminating any shame associated with sin. This grace-centered approach underlines that the love of Christ is what motivates genuine spiritual awakening and engagement with God.
