What Is Diligence?

Diligence defines the way and manner a person goes about his tasks, assignments, studies and exercises his faith in the things of God. Diligence means thoroughness, completeness and persistence in an action, particularly in matters of faith. It explains a steady, earnest and energetic effort. It also explains the attention and care legally expected or required of a person in partnership or contractual arrangement. Diligence relates to constant and consistent effort to accomplish what is undertaken. Diligence describes an attitude of persistent exertion of one's body to doing something. Diligence, in a Christian, is the effort to do one's part, while keeping faith and reliance in God. Diligence when combined with faith assures spiritual success.

PERSPECTIVES OF DILIGENCE

Heb. 6:11-12

And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: [12] That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Diligence is not only about service but also about attitude and thoroughness at the same time. The word of God says: Do all things without murmuring and disputing: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world (Phil. 2:14-15 KJV).

Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord.

God loves diligence!

A diligent person is a true seeker of God. May God help us to exhibit true diligence in our service to him.

Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and diligence. Chaos is inherent in all compounded things. The expectations of life depend upon diligence; the mechanic that would perfect his work must first sharpen his tools. Diligence is the mother of greatness and success.
