There is an old saying that is insulting and negative towards some spiritual Christians. It says “ He’s so heavenly minded that he’s no earthly good.” In my youth I was a little wary of someone like that, and I assumed it meant that they were lazy, shiftless, and didn’t want to work. There are people that are like that but I submit that the true spiritual Christian is anything but that.
Once one receives the revelation of who they are in Christ, an amazing world opens up with an incredible future spent with the Lord and ultimately in Heaven with Him and loved ones. But instead of a negative life it makes one motivated to lead others to the Lord and to Heaven. The alternative (Hell) is unthinkable. So many become hard workers in the Church. We should embrace that spiritual life that Christ has provided for us. The Bible teaches us to do our earthly work with diligence, “as unto the Lord.”
It reads, “Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory.” (Colossians 3:1-4)
