INTRODUCTION: Diligence is a steady perseverance in one’s effort. Diligent people get the job done. They do not quit until they have given it their all. The Bible uses the word diligence in several ways, and it is always in a positive sense. Those who work diligently will most likely reap a good result, while those who refuse to work with persistence suffer the consequences.

LESSON OUTLINES:

Attributes Of The Diligent

Dangers Of Laziness

1. Attributes Of The Diligent

Diligent people plan, save, and work to meet needs (Proverbs 13:4). They identify opportunities and make good use of time (Proverbs 12:27). Through their effective performance, they attain leadership roles and prosper (Proverbs 12:24). They discover their talents/gifting and make profitable use of them. (1 Corinthians 12:7).

In addition, believers are to be diligent in identifying false teachers (1 Timothy 4:1-5); avoiding myths and fruitless discussions (1 Timothy 4:7); guarding their hearts against falsehood, evil thoughts, and lustful desires, so that their enemy (Satan) will not take advantage of them (Proverbs 4:23; 2 Corinthians 2:10-11); setting an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and purity (1 Timothy 4:12); and devoting themselves to the reading, preaching and teaching of the Scriptures (1 Timothy 4:13).

Being a follower of Christ is also to be pursued with diligence (2 Peter 1:10). The lackadaisical way some professing believers approach their relationship with God is worrisome (Luke 9:61-62). The ultimate goal is to diligently love the Lord (Mark 12:28-31).

2. DANGERS OF LAZINESS

Laziness is the opposite of diligence and the Bible warns against being lazy (Romans 12:11). These are some of the dangers of being lazy:

Lazy people increase in poverty due to a lack of understanding (Proverbs 24:30-34).

They are wasters of time, talent and opportunities (Proverbs 18:9).

They live in the bondage of fear (Proverbs 22:13) which is contrary to the plan of God for His people (Romans 8:15; 2 Timothy 1:7; 1 John 4:18).

They will become slaves to the diligent (Proverbs 12:24). Since lazy people are not ready to take initiative, they will continue to run errands for the diligent.

They are likely to lose their positions in God’s kingdom (Matthew 25:26-28).

CLASS ACTIVITY 2: How do you handle laziness?

Both young and will sing Thy song,

We long for Sunday School.

That God, the Father Almighty,

Poured His blessing on Thee

Though the sun be so bright,

Or if the clouds be black with rain,

I’ll be in Sunday School.

O Sunday School, on the Lord’s day

I rejoice to see Thee,

Will thou pass over me today?

Without my being blest?
