D. vs 12-15 Final Remarks

Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good, in order that they may provide for daily necessities and not live unproductive lives.
Titus 3:14

It is a privilege to work. The very act of providing for our family is God-honoring when it is done for God's glory. We show ourselves to be worthy of the grace that has been given to us when we in turn devote ourselves to doing good and living productive lives. To be faithful with the gifts He has given us, to be able to give something back to society, shows the light of Christ to the world. We have not been given the promise of Heaven to neglect the Earth, but rather the promise of Heaven motivates us to improve and contribute to the Earth.
