Christians sometimes try to divide what they do into two categories—secular and religious.
But God doesn’t have different sets of rules for our various tasks. – the same God who has
placed you in your workplace, in your field is the same God who placed you and called you in
HIS kingdom.
Everything we do is to be done as unto the Lord whether on the job, in the home, at school, in
church, or in the community.
Since this incorporates every aspect of life, we need to know what the Bible says about work in
the lives of believers.
Let’s read Colossians 3:17 and Colossians 3:22-25:
• “Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks
through Him to God the Father” (v. 17).
• “Slaves, in all things obey those who are your masters on earth, not with external
service, as those who merely please men, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord.
Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, knowing
that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ
whom you serve. For he who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong
which he has done, and that without partiality” (vv. 22-25).
Here, Paul’s primary concern is the way we carry out our work.
• Everything is to be done for Christ, with a heart of gratitude and sincerity.
• There is no room for halfhearted efforts or negligence because we think no one is
watching.
• In fact, Paul says we should fear the Lord in all we do, because He’s the one who sees.
• It is God we serve; He is the one to whom we are ACCOUNTABLE and who will REWARD
us for a job well done.
NOW LET’S EXAMINE WHAT ELSE GOD SAYS ABOUT OUR WORK.
