How do we know that working is important for Christians?
Answered in 1 source
Christians are called to work diligently as a reflection of their faith and gratitude towards God, not as a means to achieve salvation.
In the Christian faith, working is not a way to earn salvation but a response to the grace that has already been bestowed upon us. As emphasized in the sermon, believers are called to labor not out of obligation but out of love for Christ, who has completed the work necessary for salvation. This idea parallels the ant's diligent work ethic; it serves the queen and provides for itself, which reflects how Christians should unify in the church to work together for the glory of God. Our labor is to be a reflection of our trust in Christ who enables us to do good works, demonstrating His love through our actions.
