Christianity in the Workplace

Whenever someone says they are going into business, there can be push back from fellow Christians. There is a belief that as a Christian, we should all go into ministry or that there are jobs that are not “holy” enough. However, God calls us to all types of different jobs. If all of us were pastors, who would be in the congregation? Throughout the secular business world, we need Christians to be a light and show God’s love to others. This can be accomplished in direct and indirect ways. As you continue to read, we share why God calls us to all professions and about different ways you can provide a kingdom impact with Christianity in the workplace.

God Uses All People

Throughout the bible, God used doctors, fishermen, and even tax collectors for His work. This shows us that no matter our past or profession, we are able to make an impact on the spread of Christianity. This is a key way that we are able to share Christianity in the workplace

We Can Reach More People

While it is important to spur one another on towards growing closer to God, business and work allows us the opportunity to reach even more people. If we are constantly with the same group of believers, there is no way for us to reach non-believers.

Love the People

As Christians, we are in the world but not of the world. That can pose an interesting challenge of loving people who are not Christians. However, this is what God calls us exactly to do. We should not be known as a judgmental Christian that no one wants to work with. God is the ultimate judge, not us. As Christians, we can show God’s love and grace to others and help guide them towards Christ.

God can use all people in all different walks of life. More and more people are deciding to pursue business as a profession. No matter what people say, God can be calling you to pursue business rather than a strict ministry position.
