We just celebrated Labor Day this past weekend.
Without labor or work, this country would not be what it is today. Hard work and sacrifice is the foundation this country was built on.
The same holds true for our salvation. Our salvation comes by hard work and sacrifice. Are you laboring (working) to enter into the rest of God.
Hebrews 4:9-11, There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
Philippians 2:12-13, Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
John 6:26-27, Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
2 Corinthians 5:9, Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
If anyone is telling you that you do not have to labor or work in God, they are not telling you the truth.
Look at what Jesus, John, and Paul are telling us. Look at the work and sacrifices these men put in to ensure their salvation.
Look at what nature teaches us.
We must work for our own spiritual meat, our own salvation, to enter into the rest of God, so that we may be accepted of Him.
