God’s Hope for Your Heart from 1 Corinthians 15
IN THE KINGDOM, YOUR LABOR IS NEVER IN VAIN
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain. (1 Corinthians 15:57-58)
Do you ever get tired of sharing God’s love with others, or doing the things Jesus has called you to? Do you ever grow weary in serving the church or doing the work of the ministry? If you’ve ever been in that place, here’s some good news…
Your labor is not in vain, because God gives you the victory.
Your labor is not in vain, because Jesus is the guarantee of your success.
Your labor is not in vain, because nothing matters more than the Kingdom of God, and no other enterprise is closer to His heart.
Your labor is not about growing an organization, it’s about building a Kingdom. It’s not about keeping rules, it’s about resting in relationship with Jesus and sharing that love out of the overflow.
Be encouraged, because if you’re in Christ, you are already victorious! This means that you can rest in the hope of this simple truth: in the Kingdom, your labor is never in vain.
