The Christian at Work

Colossians 3:22–4:1  (ID: 1088)

The great challenge the church faces is to take the revolutionary word of Christ—the Gospel message—and see its phenomenal impact on a culture. How can this be done? Through individual believers living out their faith in their everyday lives, Alistair Begg explains. A Christian’s manner at work, for instance, publicly displays the foundation and framework of his or her faith. This truth should motivate us to be good employees out of reverence to the Lord.

22Bondservants,6 obey in everything those who are your earthly masters,7 not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. 23Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, 24knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. 25For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.

1Masters, treat your bondservants justly and fairly, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
