The Biblical Creative

Many Christians unintentionally adopt a view of work that says:

Work is just something we have to do until we can focus on “more spiritual things.”

But Scripture presents a different picture.

Work was part of God’s design from the beginning.

It is one of the primary ways we:

• steward our gifts
• serve other people
• reflect God’s character in the world

For Christian entrepreneurs, this means our businesses are not just about revenue or growth.

They are opportunities to work with excellence, integrity, and purpose. Your work may not be your identity. But it can still be a meaningful place where your faith is lived out daily.

What is one way your faith shapes the way you approach your work?
Let’s talk about it in the comments.

You and I weren’t just misguided before Christ. We were spiritually dead, lifeless, unable to reach out to God, trapped in sin (Ephesians 2:1).

But the miracle of the Gospel is this:

God didn’t send Jesus to improve our morality. He sent Him to raise us from death to life.

But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. — Ephesians 2:4-5

Mere things—however costly or lovely in themselves—cannot meet the real needs of the soul. The heart was made for God, and he alone can fill it. Self's enjoyment of the joys of this earth leaves naught but emptiness behind. The thirst of the soul cannot be quenched by the cisterns of this world.

— A.W. Pink
