Some beginners don't know proper use of labels they think its for SEO but reality is its for your readers to make easy to navigate your blog.
So create labels properly but not more than 6 to 8 labels

At first blogger has pre made pages which includes posts and these are result pages of label. Like whenever you click a label you will see a list of posts with that label so you can use this technique to build a page to show posts.
For this you have to add a menu and in menu links just add LABEL search links.
If you are using native blogger theme then thank god because its built with all features along with page gadget so in that case just go to your layout section and edit page gadget and add label links like below.
if you are using other third party template then you you have to edit your HTML and put the above links one by one in navigation menu.
A navigation menu is built with lists like
<ul>
<li>
<a href=" LABEL LINK " >LABEL TITLE
</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href=" LABEL LINK " >LABEL TITLE
</a>
</li>
</ul>
And using label search technique allow you to do so very easily.
