Why you must “work” to influence?

What is “Work (ergon / ἔ ργον”)? The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat. (2 Thes. 3:10) …work out your salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure. (Phil 2:12b) Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God's sight by the works of the law… (Rom.3:20a) He (God) will render to each one according to his works (Rom 2:6 ESV)

Eph. 2:10 >> Mat.6:19 “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them” (ESV) “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven” (ESV)
