Do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him

 Colossians 3:1-25

Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Why?

I died when I met Jesus Christ. So my life, my mind should focus on things above, not on earthly things.

But I am still busy with my daily work and solving the problems at my job. 

It is OK, do my own job, but do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him

How?

Do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, and give thanks to God the Father.
