With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
Whatever you're doing, do it with genuine heart and good vibes, like you're doing it for God himself, not just trying to impress people around you.
Work with your whole heart for an audience of One, not for human approval.
📚 Historical Context
The Epistle to the Ephesians was written by the Apostle Paul to the church in Ephesus, a major city in Asia Minor, around 60 AD, during a time when Paul was imprisoned in Rome. In this letter, Paul addresses practical Christian living, including instructions for household relationships, such as those between slaves and masters, to promote unity and godliness in a society where slavery was a common institution. This verse specifically urges slaves to perform their duties with a willing heart, seeing their service as directed toward Christ rather than just human authority.
