Trabalhar para Deus
Trabalhar para Deus vai além do ofício secular. É dedicar a vida inteira — palavras, ações e atitudes — ao serviço do Reino, reconhecendo que cada tarefa pode glorificar o Senhor.
Servindo ao Senhor em tudo
Quando trabalhamos como para Deus, cada ação se torna um ato de adoração. Não importa a tarefa — o que importa é o coração dedicado.
Whatever you do, be po’alim (workers) who with their neshamah work facing Adoneinu and not Bnei Adam, Having da’as that from Adoneinu you will receive the sachar of the nachalah (alloted inheritance). Serve Adoneinu Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
Do your best to shtel zich (apply yourself), to present yourself to Hashem as one approved, a po’el (workman) without bushah (shame), keeping on a derech yashar the Dvar HaEmes.
Now be Shomrei HaDvar Hashem and not Shomei HaDvar only, thereby causing yourselves to fall under remiyah (deceit, deception).
And have as your ambition to lead a quiet life of shalom bayis, and to mind your own business, and to have a parnasah, working with your own hands, according to the mitzvot (commandments) we gave you. The tachlis (purpose) is that the way you fier zich (comport oneself) in your derech (way of life) be conducted properly toward outsiders and that you might not be nitzrach (needy).
Chamados para as boas obras
Fomos criados em Cristo Jesus para boas obras, que Deus preparou de antemão para que andássemos nelas. Não somos salvos por obras, mas para obras.
For we are His masterpiece, having been created in Moshiach Yehoshua for ma’asim tovim, which Hashem prepared beforehand, that the derech of our halakhah should be in them.;
Yet we have da’as that a man cannot be YITZDAK IM HASHEM (be justified with G-d) by [depending on] the ma’asim of Gezetz (Law), but through emunah in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua. And we have come to have bitachon in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, that we can be YITZDAK IM HASHEM (be justified with G-d) by emunah in Moshiach and not by ma’asim, because by taryag mitzvot KOL CHAI LO YITZDAK (all living shall not be justified).
And Hashem is able to cause to abound to you all Chen v’Chesed Hashem that in everything, always, having all sufficiency, you may abound to every mitzvah.
Therefore, Chaverim, just as you have always had mishma’at (obedience) concerning me, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own Yeshu’ah (Salvation)[28] B’YIR’AH (with fear) and BIRA’DAH "with trembling". For Hashem is the one working in you, both to will and to work according to His chafetz (good pleasure of His will).
Do all things without murmurings and madon, That you may be innocent and without michshol of blame, bnei haElohim TAMIM U’MUM (unblemished and unspotted) in the midst of a DOR IKKESH UFETALTOL (warped and crooked generation), among whom you shine as the ZOHAR in the Olam Hazeh, Holding fast the Dvar HaChayyim. This is so that I will have reason for glorying on the Yom HaMoshiach, that I neither ran nor labored L’TOHU (in vain).
A missão do cristão
O chamado a trabalhar para Deus inclui a Grande Comissão: fazer discípulos de todas as nações, cooperando com Ele na expansão do Reino.
Go, therefore, make talmidim for Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach of all the nations, giving them a tevilah in a mikveh mayim in Hashem, in the Name of HaAv, and HaBen, and HaRuach Hakodesh,
The one having had emunah (faith) and having submitted to a tevilah of teshuva (immersion of repentance) will be delivered in the Yeshu’at Eloheinu (Salvation of our G-d), but the one not having emunah will come under the gezar din (verdict) of harshaah (condemnation as guilty).
For we are fellow po’alim (workers) of Hashem, you are the sadeh Hashem (field of G-d), you are Hashemʼs binyan (building).
Since it is necessary for all of us to be revealed/laid bare for an appearance before the Kisse Din (Judgment Throne, i.e., Moshiachʼs Bet Din) of Moshiach, in order that each one of us [individually] may receive recompense for the things done in the basar, according to his ma’asim, whether tov or rah.
