Tim Keller: 我认为基督信仰为我们提供了对工作的一种全新视角，它既包括对工作普遍性的理解，也包括对个人职业的特殊性视角。普遍性在于，我们所做的每一项工作，实际上都是在参与上帝在世界上的工作，是对上帝创造和维护世界的延续。无论是体力劳动还是脑力劳动，都是在重新安排和重组原材料，以促进人类的繁荣和福祉。因此，所有的工作都具有尊严，都是上帝的工作的一部分。特殊性在于，基督信仰能够帮助我们辨别工作的动机和目的。我们应该以荣耀上帝和服侍他人的爱为出发点，而不是仅仅为了个人的名利。这种视角能够影响我们做事的态度和方式，使我们更加有创造力，并关注更广泛的社会责任。

Shownotes Transcript

How does the gospel affect your work? 

We’re in a series where we’re asking, “What happens when you take the gospel, the basic message of Jesus Christ, out of the church and into the world?” One of the things that happens is it affects the way in which you do your work. And there’s no way to see the Christian understanding of work without going to Genesis 1, 2, and 3.

I’d like to show you three things Genesis tells us about your work: 1) it gives you a vision for work, 2) it gives you guardrails for your work, and 3) it gives you a power to do your work.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on October 10, 2010. Series: The Gospel and the World. Scripture: Genesis 1:26-28; 2:2-17.
