"For the Lord..."

August 17, 2015

“For the Lord…”

Blessings folk!

Yesterday we saw that whatever we do in word or deed we are to do unto the Lord…

Col 3:17
Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.


A few verses later we read more…

Col 3:23-24

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.


We are to do our work heartily.
We are to do our work as for the Lord rather than for men.
In other words, regardless of what we do, we are doing it for the Lord.
Not for men.

Here is a great truth.
We know…again…we know… that the Lord will give the reward of inheritance.

We serve the Lord Christ.
The Lord will reward us.

We do not serve man.
We do not receive reward from man.

What about the verses 18-23?

…to be continued…

For today, do all things to the praise, honor and glory of God!
Work heartily.
