The title of the video should just be changed from "Don't serve for a reward" to "Serve out of fear"

[ronennachman770]

Although fear of g-d is a great starting point, one must eventually nurture a real love of G-d as well.

If you only have one, it is incomplete.

Thank you so much for the Torah insights you on behalf of Hashem. May you continue being a vessel for Adonai Baruch Hashem

@miyavimocochang the video was dealing with doing righteousness for the sake of a reward, not working at a job. The point is that one is to serve god even without a heaven existing, but because god is good and worthy. Many other religions miss this point and are religious out of fear of a hell or for a desire of heaven

[pianokid100]

@mutabrev except Jesus lied. Jesus basically said that it was impossible for a materially wealthy man to be saved, then contradictorily uses Abraham, one if the wealthiest men in the bible, as the saved example with the "Lazarus and the rich man" parable.

[mutabrev]

Jesus makes this point a lot more concisely and with a lot less fumbling. "It is a easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven."

Ronen-

I'm gonna answer your question because it brings up a lot of key things in life and you should get an answer also :)

If nobody ever thought, they would get a reward for things, then I think nobody would go to work.

If you have a hard job, you can assume that the workers are only going there to get the money because that is sadly what the world relies on nowadays :( And I don't think many of the people who had hard jobs would go there without pay at the end of the week.

Shalom brother...

"Without Love of G-d there is no real performance" Tanya perek 4.

If you love a person, you like being with them all the time.  So to, by loving hashem all the burdens of torah become our connection with him, serving to deepen this connection, in a way that there is nothing sweeter than learning torah and doing mitzvot. At this level one does torah without thinking about the reward.
