John 17.4 declares I glorified You on earth by completing the work You gave me to do. Men glorify themselves through their work.

Sin takes away from our true nature and true focus which is God and His will and glory on earth as it is in heaven, instead we emphasize man and his will and glory on the earth. This explains why men work so hard to create a name for themselves and determine their worth by how successful in the world of work they have become.

Jesus, Who never sinned, never lost His focus, neither did He place His will and glory over that of the glory and will of the Father, instead He lived always as a servant of God: the very life Christians are to follow.

Doing God’s work requires we become God’s servants. All of our time, talent and treasure is to be placed at God’s disposal for God’s use.

No longer are Christians to live selfish lives defining themselves by what they have or what they do but by how much they have done and how much they have sacrificed for the glory of God and the expansion of His kingdom upon the earth.

Doing God’s work will include doing what Jesus did, and that which He spent the most time doing was making disciples.

Jesus invested in twelve men eleven of whom would be the heralds of the Church. So too Christians have been commanded to make disciples to ensure the next generation has men equipped and committed to expanding the church of Jesus Christ throughout the world.

In addition Jesus taught and did good works among thousands.

At every opportunity, as much as we can, the Christian should use his talents and treasure to influence men to Christ until God’s will of every person being saved is accomplished.
