Proverbs 10:16 KJV — The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.
Under the new Covenant, everything has been provided for through Jesus. We are saved, healed, delivered, prospered, forgiven, restored, all things made new by faith in Jesus.
And under the new Covenant, Labour is involved.
Labour, exertion of effort, hard work.
But our labour isn’t to get God to bless us. He’s already given approved us and given us everything. He’s deposited it in our spirits and we have the authority to execute transactions against Jesus’ account.
Instead, our labour is to enter into the rest that Jesus has provided.
Tearing down strongholds, imaginations and every high thing that would keep us from using our faith to walk in all that Jesus has provided for us.
That’s the hard work we’re engaged with.
