Many people functionally share this belief that work has no greater meaning than the paycheck it provides. A natural consequence of this faith commitment is the belief it's okay to do mediocre work so that in your free time you can enjoy your true passions.

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.

We may get a paycheck, but over time what we sense is the dying of our souls.

Economic and political structures that have a far sweeping impact on the lives of billions is not outside the purview of the gospel's redemptive influence.

If we begin to see how the gospel is able to change our work, it can have a profound effect on our sense of calling and the meaning behind the work that we do day-in and day-out.

So much is wrapped up in our work and each book of the Bible points to Christ and the good news of what he's done that impacts the whole of our lives and the whole of our world. When our eyes are opened to see how each book of the Bible points us to the gospel, the relevance to our work and the need for this good news to enter into our work becomes increasingly evident.
