Text: Ephesians 6:5-9
Work is good. It is part of what God designed us to do. It is not a result of the fall, though it has been made more complicated/difficult.
Workplace Ethics
You should obey those who are over you in the workplace (v5-8).
Implications:
- You should work respectfully (“whether they are just or unjust”).
- You should work faithfully.
- You should work eagerly.
Motivation: Christ, your true Master, has promised remuneration.
You should treat with dignity those who are under you in the workplace.
Implication: You should not use your authority harm to those working under you.
Motivation: You too are under authority. You and your workers share a common Master who will judge without partiality.
