Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
You want an incentive for doing the right thing even when nobody may ever know or notice if you slack off or steal a little here and there or do a slack job? It’s easy to justify these bad behaviors and so many others when we are only doing what we do for ourselves or someone else that we just work for but don’t really like or respect. God gives us an incentive to doing the right thing regardless of the circumstances, in this verse and in 1st Corinthians which says- Therefore whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. The incentive is that we are representing our Lord Jesus all of the time, every action from the biggest to the littlest that we take will bring him either honor or dishonor. So do your best at whatever you do and thank God that he has given you the opportunity and ability to do what it is that you are doing.
Application-This verse is its own application so I will memorize the verse to keep the proper mindset close at hand.
