"knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."
- Colossians 3:24 -

The apostle Paul was speaking to Christian believers.

He was speaking to the servants and slaves of Christ.

He reminded them, "And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."

This saying makes Christian works and services worth doing.

This teaching makes Christian living worth having.

As Christians, we are doing a royal service for the Lord Jesus Christ.

We are to do it heartily.

We are to do it all to the glory of God.

We will receive our reward from the Lord.

But our divine services must not be only for a few hours or for a few places only.

All of our time and all that we have are for the glory of God.

Of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven,  
but My Father only.  - Matthew 24:36 -

God the Father has kept us from knowing the actual time of Christ’s return.

But this helps keep us motivated in Christian service and spiritual growth all the time.

******

Let us be assured, Christ’s personal return will take place.

******

As we wait for that day, let us live our lives with holy conduct and godliness.

Let us be found waiting and watching for Christ’s return every day.
