Productivity is not efficiency but faithful fruitfulness As Christians, we are called to do hard work, but never by ourselves. God promises to help every Christian who is engaged in the pursuit of godliness. He is not going to do it for us, but He promises to do it with us. That is why we do not surrender to despair when we fail—and we frequently do fail—in our pursuit of sanctification. God will give us the grace, and He promises His help. —R. C. Sproul, Truths We Confess: A Systematic Exposition of the Westminster Confession of Faith
