On Labor
Day, we naturally think about the life of the American worker, and how much
his/her contribution is worth to our society and economy. The church certainly
benefits from the tithes and offerings of the wage earners, and our prayer is
that God blesses the efforts and productivity of those who are gainfully
employed.
Work takes
on a different dimension in terms of salvation. The people in Jesus day asked,
“What must we do to work the works that God requires?” Jesus relied, “Your work
is to believe.” (John 6:29)
Works are
not required to be saved; just faith in the One who did all the work already on
the cross of Calvary.
Happy Labor
Day!
