Wind back your memory clock to spring 2020. Listen as cheers fade. View blank certificates and awards in a dusty pile.  See trophy-earning opportunities evaporate. Witness fans sitting on their hands. Only the joy of the game remains now (and perhaps a desire to please the coach for players) in all things sports-related. Motives matter. And, in the pursuit of holiness, they make all the difference. Likewise, when it comes to sanctification, the selfless motivation of godly obedience matters most. It’s the only path worth traversing in any authentic pursuit of holiness.
