Why Colossians 3:23?

Colossians 3:23 establishes important guiding principles for our lives as well as a proper work ethic for believers formatted by diligence, integrity, and excellence. This verse says that no matter what work we are doing or what service we are providing, we are called to do it with all of our heart, for the Lord. Through our apparel, our goal is to remind believers of this calling to work with passion, enthusiasm, and excellence in all we do. Our hope is to encourage believers to have motivation rooted in pleasing and glorifying the Lord, not in men or earthly rewards.

What does it mean to work heartily?

Working heartily for the Lord means choosing to honor God and His standards in whatever we do, no matter how big or small. It is choosing excellence and enthusiasm over mediocrity and indifference because of Who we are serving. Working heartily is performing with passion and effort, rather than just for completion. Lastly, working heartily reflects obedience and devotion to the Lord, as it ultimately brings glory to Him!
