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.
