If God is all-powerful and is going to accomplish whatever He wills; then why should I bother to work?
The answer is found in 1 Corinthians 3:5-9
What then is Apollos? What is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, and each has the role the Lord has given. 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. 7 So, then, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. 8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. 9 For we are God’s coworkers. You are God’s field, God’s building. – 1 Corinthians 3:5-9 (CSB)
