"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."
Because of the confidence that Christians can have about what lies ahead, our lives should be resolute. We should have an immovably fixed persistence to our lifestyle. We should be driven to serve the Lord. The text says we should be "abounding in the work of the Lord." The word translated abounding conveys the idea of an abundance. We do not merely meet expectations, fulfilling the minimum required to get by. We exceed what anyone might expect of us. We push forward with an insatiable drive to serve the one who freed us from all fear because we want to bring Him glory. And He is most clearly glorified by our worship spreading to others. When we worshipfully serve the Lord, the Holy Spirit uses our efforts to bring others to meet the Savior.
