Work: Because Life’s Not a Vacation
More Than This
Genesis 1:26-27; 2:1-3, 3:17-19
What is the strangest job you have ever had?
There is more to the Christian life than work:
1. God’s best plan for you includes identity and order. (Genesis 1:26-27 & 2:1-3)
a. As a believer, your identity is found in Christ, not your job. (Galatians 2:20)
b. As a believer, Christ is your master, not work. (Colossians 3:23-24)
2. You live in a Genesis 3 (Genesis 3:17-19)
The Tower of Babel. (Genesis 11:1-9)
a. When identity is attached to work, you will experience confusion.
b. When work doesn’t fit into God’s order, your life will be incomplete.
3. As a believer in Christ, you can order your life according to God’s best plan: (1 Corinthians 14:33)
- God.
- The blessing of life.
- Family.
- Work.
- Friends.
Final Thought: Let your identity be found in God, through Christ, not in yourself, through work.
