a. Whatever we do, how should we work at it?

Answer: Whatever a child of God does, he should work at it with all his heart just as if he is working for the Lord, and not for men, (verse 23).

MORE INFORMATION AND/OR OTHER SCRIPTURE REFERENCES:

• Of the child of God's work for the Lord:

1 Corinthians 15:58: "Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain."

Colossians 1:10: "And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God..."

1 Thessalonians 1:2-3: "We always thank God for all of you, mentioning you in our prayers. We continually remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ."

• God knows and remembers our work and the love we show Him as we work:

Hebrews 6:10-12: "God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you have shown Him as you have helped His people and continue to help them. We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure. We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised."
