One reason why people find applying the Bible to work so difficult is that the world of Scriptures seems so distant from our modern world today. Many established realities we encounter daily, like non-profit and for-profit corporations, did not exist in the ancient world.

For various reasons, when people engage the Bible, they don't see very readily how it relates to their work.

The gospel changes how we view and work with others in a way that both humanizes our interactions with them and empowers them to work well.

The Great Commission will not be fulfilled with our spare time or spare money.

Because of the gospel, God is doing a new work, and he invites us to participate in this innovative work that affects the entirety of our world.

One of the fundamental premises of this Bible is that the gospel changes everything. If this is true, how does the gospel change the very thing we spend most of our waking hours doing - work.

All work flows from some underlying assumptions, and the content of that faith can dramatically change our expectations for our work.
