An effective spin model for the finite temperature non-abelian lattice gauge theory is derived via a variational approach. The outcome is the surprising result that only nearest neighbor coupling survive, thus confirming the well known numerical results that the deconfining phase transition of the (3+1)-dimensional SU(3) pure gauge theory is first order. Our approach also suggests the possibility of analytically studying finite temperature lattice gauge theory.
