How do we know our toil in the Lord is not in vain?

Answered in 1 source

1 Corinthians 15:58 assures believers that their toil is not in vain as God sees and rewards their labor.

The assurance that our toil in the Lord is not in vain comes directly from Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:58. He emphasizes that every effort believers put forth for the kingdom is observed and valued by God. The Greek word for 'toil' indicates labor that is strenuous and exhausting, suggesting that the work of the Lord often comes with significant challenges. However, Paul reassures the Corinthians that this toil pays off since it serves a higher purpose and leads to eternal rewards. God is keeping records of our faithfulness, indicating that even our smallest acts of service are meaningful in His sight and will contribute to glory in the eternal kingdom.
