July 2007 - Created for Good Works
from Strategies@Work Podcast Hosted by Dr. Gerald Chester
Ephesians 2:10 teaches that people are purposefully created by God to do specific "good works". The common view is that "good works" refers to spiritual activities such as evangelism, teaching, and pastoring. However, the word translated works is ergon which refers to all types of work including business and artistic activities. And the adjective good refers to one of the attributes of God (See Matthew 19:16-17). Paul presented a view that people are purposefully created to do all types of work and that the work a person is assigned by God should reflect the nature and purpose of God.
