What does the Bible say about laboring for God?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that our labor is effective only by God's power, as seen in Colossians 1:29.

In Colossians 1:29, the Apostle Paul speaks of laboring according to God's working, which works in him mightily. This emphasizes that any effort undertaken on behalf of Christ is not by our own strength but is empowered by the Holy Spirit. The work of ministry is a divine endeavor, revealing that it is God's grace enabling us to labor—therefore, we can do nothing of eternal significance apart from Him. The believer strives not for merit but in a grateful response for what God has accomplished in Christ.
