The correct application of the doctrinal truth of the eschatological return of Jesus is the opposite—to be future-oriented.
2 Thessalonians 3:10—“For even when we were with you, we used to give you this order: if anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.”
“...In toil you will eat of it...” (Genesis 3:17)
“By the sweat of your face
You will eat bread,…” (Genesis 3:19)
Laziness is a sin that often must be starved to be killed.
You can’t always convince lazy people that they are lazy because they may feel themselves to be very busy and working but you can refuse to support and subsidize it. Allow the external pressures of God’s world to demonstrate their laziness to them (2 Thessalonians 3:10). They may consider this an “injustice” but thank God for this passage and others that give such realistic analysis and commands. The lazy will see the norm of expectation—that hunger and lack result from lack of work—as an injustice and will expect to be exempted from these realities at the expense of others, however, the Church is not to indulge them. If they will not be taught by the instruction of special revelation from God’s Word then let them be taught by general revelation from God’s world. Allow them to be corrected and convinced of their laziness by the economic law of scarcity. If acting like a busybody cannot be eliminated through godly exhortation let it at least be minimized in the marketplace where people assign it true market value through refusing to fund it. How long can a busybody continue to last without truly working when no one pays for their “services”?
