Tim Keller: 我认为圣经对工作提供了非常有帮助和实用的智慧，这些智慧可能会让你感到惊讶，甚至改变你的生活。我们需要思考如何在工作中实践基督教信仰，否则我们生活中很大一部分将无法受到基督的影响。基督教是一个全面的宗教，必须触及你生活的每一部分，基督徒所做的任何事都应该与非基督徒不同。这段经文驳斥了两种错误的工作观：一是工作是诅咒，休闲才是人生的意义；二是工作本身就是人生的意义。我们必须改变我们工作的目标，不是为了自我实现，而是为了服务和管理我们的天赋，以取悦上帝。 Tim Keller: 我认为圣经奠定了适用于一切的普遍原则。废除奴隶制主要是基督徒和福音派基督徒的功劳。威廉·威尔伯福斯通过圣经中的原则，如十诫和金律，认识到奴隶制是错误的。圣经告诉我们，工作从一开始就存在，我们被创造出来就是要工作的。工作不是诅咒，而是被诅咒了。工作是被诅咒的，这意味着无论你的工作环境多么完美，总会有挫折。如果你为金钱或为自己工作，整个社会将会衰落，而你自己最终也会崩溃。

Shownotes Transcript

Consider how much of your time, how much of your life, is built around your work. Yet, so many of the books and materials that look at what it means to live as Christians only focus on our evenings and our weekends. How are we to be a Christian on the job?

We’re going to look at some basic principles of what God says we must do to approach our work and our jobs in a Christian way.

Looking at Ephesians 6, we see that this passage knocks down two false views of work: 1) that work is a curse and leisure is the meaning of life, and 2) that work is the meaning of life. And then we’ll see 3) how you get the power to transform your view and aim of work.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on November 3, 1991. Series: Work & Faith. Scripture: Ephesians 6:5-9.
