How God’s Grace turns our work into worship.
Paul lays out the qualities that every laborer should have in their work.
He is addressing those who are slaves and cannot get out of their situation.
Five qualities of a servant:
Serve obediently.
Serve excellently.
Serve Respectfully.
- “I may be sitting up on the outside, but I’m slouching on the inside.”
Serve Honestly.
Serve Loyally.
A Christian ought to be the most faithful, hard-working, trustworthy, respectful person around.
How can we demonstrate these qualities in the midst of a hard situation?
1. Grace reveals that God is Your Eye-witness.
Col. 3:
God sees your situation.
God hears you in your difficulty.
Hagar in - Fled from Sarai because she was mistreated.
The Lord told her to return.
Ishmael means God hears - God named this child.
Whatever his future, God had a purpose and heard her cry, he later heard his cry as well.
El Roi - God sees me!
2. Grace grants us an Eternal Perspective.
God has not written the final chapter yet!
He will reward your service.
You are not living just for this life, but for the glory of God.
We do all our work, not just for the person we are serving, but ultimately for the Lord.
This is worship!
3. Grace gives us an Evangelistic Purpose.
We serve obediently, excellently, respectfully, honestly, loyally so that the testimony of God’s saving Grace may go out to a dark world.
You are different!
Christ has given us an example of suffering for the purpose of bringing others to Christ.
,
It may be that the very person who is causing you the most grief right now has been brought into your life so that they may see an example of God’s grace and encounter the Gospel.
These attitudes only come about when we see that God has given us what we don’t deserve.
