How do we know that labor for self is vanity?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible reveals that laboring for oneself leads to dissatisfaction and emptiness, as it is ultimately unfulfilling.

In Ecclesiastes 4:7-8, Solomon points out the vanity of a man who toils alone, seeking riches but never finding satisfaction. The scripture conveys that man may work incessantly, yet ask himself, 'For whom do I labor?' This reflection reveals the futility of self-centered labor. The heart continuously desires more, illustrating that material pursuits cannot satisfy the soul's deepest needs. The only true fulfillment comes from Christ, who offers peace and rest to those weary from their futile striving.
