A special Labor Day broadcast! The Word of God has a lot to say about work. Today we take a look at just a few passages that speak to work. The work of God is this - to believe in the One he has sent (John 6:29-30). Our work is simple faith in Jesus Christ. Paul had a labor of love to share the good news of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 2:8-9). He reminds us, "your labor in the Lord is not in vain." We are called to live by faith. As we do, we will see incredible things happen in and through our lives. We are God's workmanship and we have been created in Christ Jesus to do good works which God prepared in advance for us to do (Ephesians 2:8-9). As we live by faith in Jesus, the work we are called to do, we will see good works flowing in and through us. Where do these good works take place? Only in church? Only on mission fields? No, it's in everyday life! As Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 3:22 "I saw that there was nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work." We hope you enjoy this special edition of Basic Gospel!
