The Motivation of God's Salvation W e did nothing to motivate God to save us. His motivation was intrinsic. It came from within His nature. He saw our plight and felt compassion for us. Anyone who has stopped along the road to pick up a stray dog or move a fallen bird's nest to a safe place has in a limited way mirrored the compassion expressed by God in salvation.
Grace summarizes the entire salvation process.
It encapsulates the sending of Christ, the offer of forgiveness, His crucifixion, His resurrection, and His ascension. From start to finish, salvation is by grace. We have now answered two basic questions. He loved us. God's Purpose P aul answers yet another crucial question.
