What Does Ephesians 6:8 Mean?
Paul gives a steadying assurance: 'whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord.' No good deed goes unnoticed by God. The Lord sees and will reward what may be overlooked by human eyes. This gives quiet dignity to faithful, unseen service.
This holds 'whether he be bond or free.' Before God, social station makes no difference to the worth of one's faithfulness. The humblest servant and the freest citizen alike will receive from the Lord according to the good they have done. God's recognition reaches every person who serves Him faithfully.
