Podcast Episode Summary: "God’s Business: Eternal Impact, Not Earthly Profit"
In this episode, we explore a unique perspective on salvation—imagining God's work as a business, not for profit, but for eternal gain. God is in the business of love, service, and soul-winning, with a mission that transcends worldly goals. As believers, we are called to participate in this eternal enterprise. But unlike earthly businesses, God’s rewards are not measured in dollars or numbers—they’re measured in transformed lives and eternal salvation.
We begin by discussing how God’s business is centered on service, where love and humility take precedence over ambition and self-interest. In Philippians 2:3-4, we’re reminded to value others above ourselves and serve selflessly, just as Christ did. Unlike businesses that seek profit, God's business is about offering the greatest gift—salvation through Jesus, who paid the price on the cross.
Next, we dive into the idea that God’s business has no quotas. While earthly businesses measure success with numbers, God’s success is about the genuine transformation of hearts. Romans 12 reminds us that our success isn’t in meeting sales targets but in the love and grace we share with others. Every act of service, every word of encouragement, counts towards God's eternal mission.
We also talk about the importance of having the right staff in God’s business. Romans 12:4-7 highlights the unique spiritual gifts God has given each of us. Whether we teach, serve, give, or lead, we all have a vital role in building His Kingdom. Working together, we can make a lasting, eternal impact on the world.
To navigate this mission effectively, we need the “Employee Handbook”—the Bible. Just as any business has guidelines for success, God’s Word provides clear instructions on how to live, love, and serve. Romans 12 acts as a "cliff notes" for the Christian life, offering practical wisdom for daily living.
At the heart of God's business is love—not the fleeting love of the world, but a sincere, sacrificial love that seeks the best for others. True love compels us to share the gospel and reach those who need Christ, even when it’s difficult or unpopular. God’s love motivates us to keep going, even when the world is increasingly hostile to the message of salvation.
Finally, we acknowledge the tough road ahead. The challenges of living out our faith in today’s world are real, but every soul won for Christ is a victory. God rejoices over one sinner who repents (Luke 15:10), and no act of love is ever in vain. Despite the struggles, we press on, knowing that our work has eternal significance and that God is with us every step of the way.
In conclusion, we are all part of God’s eternal business. The mission may be tough, but the rewards are beyond measure. As ambassadors of Christ, we are called to share His message of hope and salvation with a world in need. Every soul matters. Every act of love counts.
Join us as we explore how to live out our roles in God's business and make an eternal difference in the lives of those around us.
