Why is it important for Christians to labor for the glory of God?

As articulated in the sermon, Christians are called to labor not for worldly wealth but to glorify God, share the gospel, and bless others. This labor differs from the pursuits of the world, which often focus on material gain that is fleeting. Colossians 3:23-24 encourages believers to work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, emphasizing that our true reward comes from Him. This understanding shapes how believers approach their efforts, ensuring that their lives reflect a commitment to God’s purposes and desires rather than temporal gains.
