Question:
What is a laborer or are we all laborers?

Answer:
First Thessalonians 5:12, 13 gives Scripture for laborers: “And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.”

But they have no title—all of us are “laborers together with God” (1 Corinthians 3:9). These verses may refer to those who have jobs but are laboring for the Lord. The Lord is able to use—whomever, even if there are no full-time laborers.It’s the Lord’s work and God has work for each believer as members of the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:18, 27, 28). First Corinthians 15:58 doesn’t say, “Therefore my beloved full-time laborers.” Shouldn’t every believer be a full-time laborer for Christ sine every believer is a member of Christ’s body?
