Did you know that the words "work" and "toil" are mentioned over 480 times in the bible? That alone indicates that God considers our work to be a very important aspect of our lives. Many scriptures are found throughout the bible that support the importance of our work to God. Each contain God's wisdom and views about our work, the importance of our work, or how we should conduct ourselves while performing our work.
Here are just a few of them:
Whatever you do, work at it with all of your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men.Colossians 3:23 (see Colossians 3:22- 4:1)
Work hard, but not just to please your masters when they are watching. As slaves of Christ, do the will of God with all your heart. Work with enthusiasm, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.
Ephesians 6:6
Therefore, my beloved, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, because you know that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.
1 Corinthians 15:58
