Business

 

����������� 1. Business is a part of the laws of divine establishment: those laws of divine establishment that deal with the economy.

����������� 2. The principle of business is the antithesis of the principle of grace. You work for a living; you do nothing for blessing under grace.

����������� 3. In business you must work to produce; in grace you cannot work to receive divine blessing, whether it is salvation or some blessing in phase two, or some future blessing in phase three.

 

����������� The function of business

����������� 1. The function of the believer in business is found in a number of passages of the scripture. The royal family believer, Church Age believer, is found in Ephesians 6:5-9; Colossians 3:22-4:1; 1 Timothy 6.

����������� 2. It is a part of the divine plan for every believer in the royal family of God to represent the Lord in the business world in time. John 17:15-17 is a business passage.

����������� 3. God has a plan for the believer in the business world. His plan calls for believers to be blessed in the business world.

����������� 4. God�s plan calls for believers not only to be in the business world but to be fortified with doctrine in the business world. This, then, makes a believer in the business world a very definite part of the angelic conflict.
