The Gospel at Work
What does it look like when the gospel does its work in our lives and the lives of our churches? Here’s a snapshot description from Brian Chapell:
Because we are in union with him, we are meant to join the great story of gospel redemption for which Christ came into the world. Not only does this mean that grace calls us to reflect Christ’s holiness, but grace also motivates and enables us to reflect his mercy for the poor, his care for his creation, his zeal for justice, his delight in beauty, his love of the unlovely, his dignifying all kinds of work that apply his gifts, his treasuring of chastity outside marriage, his blessing of fidelity in marriage, his tenderness toward “the least of these,” and his love for the lost who have not yet found their home in him.
