How do you do your day-to-day work? Colossians 3-4

Colossians 3:22-25 (NASBStr)

Slaves, in all things obey those who are your masters on earth, not with external service, as those who merely please men, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve. For he who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done, and that without partiality.

Christians have a difficult time in our society today in regard to their work situations.   Few realize that that the doctrines they learn on Sunday are applicable and necessary on Monday through Saturday.   That is nothing new to the Church.   Paul wrote to the believers at Colossee to make sure that their relationships in the work-a-day world were in line with their walk with Christ.   In the above passage he neither condemns or promotes slavery.   He does tell both slaves and masters to make sure that they realize that the life and situation they are currently experiencing is for the purpose of bring glory to God.   The master and those they are over are to complete all the principles of this book and are to do so with a hear that his full of God.   Whatever situation we are experiencing in regard to our employment is for the purpose of bring glory to God and should be done for that reason.  We might get a pay check now but we will have the ultimate pay-day when we meet God and He gives us our reward.  There is a clear relationship between how we conduct ourselves in this world and how God rewards us in His world.   We must bring our doctrine to work with us.   It is His doctrine and His command.
