The plowman should plow in hope and the thresher thresh in hope of sharing in the crop.
In Christ, our labors are not in vain; and we should not expect them to be. We shouldn't imagine our efforts will be fruitless. We should wage war with the hope of winning. We should plant with the hope of eating. There is no shame in working with the wages in mind. We should lay ourselves down with the expectation of rising up again.
Hebrews 11:6
And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him.
To be in Christ is to believe that He is there and that He has not lied to you.
