This law also applies to people. While some people are naturally driven to complete projects, others are apathetic, needing a motivation to overcome inertia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We like to say that we are a nation of hardworking people, but we must admit that we also have a lot of lazy people. Some claim to work and to be busy all day, but nothing good can be seen in their lives. Usually, this category of people are the most complaining and dissatisfied. The Bible is clear and says that the Lord has ordained work for man and that laziness is sin. \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Go to the ant, you lazy one, observe its ways and be wise<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201d (Proverbs 6:6 NASB).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Bible has much to say about laziness. The book of Proverbs, in particular, is full of wisdom and warnings for the lazy. We are told that the lazy man hates work: \u201dThe desire of the lazy one puts him to death, for his hands refuse to work\u201d (Proverbs 21:25 NASB); he loves sleep. Also, \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A lazy one is wiser in his own eyes than seven <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">people<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> who can give a discreet answer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201d (Proverbs 26:16 NASB). Proverbs tells us what is prepared for the lazy in the end. The lazy man becomes a slave or a debtor. \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The hand of the diligent will rule, but the lazy <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">hand<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> will be put to forced labor\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(Proverbs 12:24 NASB). His future is bleak: \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The lazy one does not plow after the autumn, so he begs during the harvest and has nothing!\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(Proverbs 20:4 NASB). The lazy become poor: \u201ct<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">he soul of the lazy one craves and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">gets<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> nothing, but the soul of the diligent is made prosperous\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(Proverbs 13:4 NASB).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sad prospects for the lazy, and if you have somehow fallen into this sin, you must know that there is no room for laziness in the life of Christianity. Although we know that \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">by grace you have been saved through faith; and this <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">is<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> not of yourselves, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">it is<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> the gift of God; not a result of works, so that no one may boast\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">(Ephesians 2:8-9 NASB), however, a believer may become inactive if he believes wrongly \u2014 that is, if he believes that God does not expect the fruits of a transformed life. \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them\u201d (Ephesians 2:10 NASB).<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Laziness and the lazy violate God&#8217;s purpose, that is, good works. However, the Lord empowers Christians to overcome the inclination of the flesh to laziness, giving them a new nature. It is sad to see how some Christians believe that God will give to them just for the act of declaring themselves Christians. Whoever does not work should not eat, and such people live in disorder.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In our new nature, we are motivated to diligence and productivity that come from love for our Savior who redeemed us. Our old inclination to laziness &#8211; and other sins &#8211; has been replaced by the desire to live holy lives: \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The one who steals must no longer steal; but rather he must labor, producing with his own hands what is good, so that he will have <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">something<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to share with the one who has need<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201d (Efeseni 4:28). We are convinced of the need to care for our family, working: &#8220;If anyone does not take care of his family and especially of those in his household, he has renounced the faith and is worse than an unbeliever,&#8221; Paul taught Timothy. We must also take care of those in God&#8217;s family: \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You yourselves know that these hands served my <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">own<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> needs and the men who were with me. In everything I showed you that by working hard in this way you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, \u2018It is more blessed to give than to receive\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (Acts 20:34-35 NASB).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As Christians, we know that our works will be rewarded by our Lord if we persevere in obedience, forcing ourselves to do good: \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Let\u2019s not become discouraged in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not become weary. So then, while we have opportunity, let\u2019s do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (Galatians 6:9-10 NASB). \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord and not for people, knowing that <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">it is<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> from the Lord <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">that<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> you will receive the reward of the inheritance\u201d (Colossians 3:23-24 NASB). I am sure that if we apply this biblical principle, it is God who will reward us. Everything is possible in the One we have trusted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As Christians, we must work in the power of God, carry the news of salvation, and become disciples. Let&#8217;s not fall into the trap of laziness and personal comfort.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Translated by Liza B\u00eerl\u0103deanu<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the first law of motion Newton states that a moving object tends to remain in motion and an object at rest tends to remain at rest.
