The Christian Work Ethic

In today's post, we will be going over a few pointers from scripture aimed at people who work under a boss.

The first point I want to make is that we should work as unto the Lord. This means we should always do our very best as if we were working directly under Jesus. Needless to say this means we shouldn't be slothful at work.

The second point that I am going to address is that we shouldn't work with just eye-service but we should work hard even when the boss is not looking.

The third point is we should not purloin obviously. This means that we are not to rob our boss or company we work for.

The next point that I am going over is that we should not talk back to our boss, but we should follow his decisions even if we do not agree with them, unless whatever command in question contradicts the laws of God.

The last point that I want to mention is that we should take any discipline or hardship patiently, even if it was not our fault, and to be subject to our boss even if they are impolite. This way we will be more like Jesus in this regard.

So in conclusion we should do our best even if the boss or co-workers are not present, and we are not to steal, or retaliate against those who have authority over us.

Scripture references: Rom 12:11, Eph 6:5-8 Col 3:22-24,Tit 2:9-10, 1 Pet 2:18-23
