MODULE 2

Tell The Story. The Theological and Biblical Story of Work and Vocation

​

​1. The Story of  Work.

The Theological Vision of our Work 

​

Story will help us to make sense of our work. We will look at work from 4 different lens through the metanarrative of the scripture. We will start from creation, on how work was created good and then came the fall which has affected work. Work is fallen but not destroyed, and it was redeemed by God. This has brought hope to the work we do now, while it waits for its glorification. This will help clarify-

1. The question of Design, Why Work is important for a fulfilled life?

2. The Issue of the Fall on work- Why is Work difficult and challenging?

3. The Redemptive purpose of work

4. The future of Work which would denote the very purpose we are called. 

2.The Story of our vocation.

The Biblical Foundation of our called life where God participate in our life to saved us to served others through our Work

​

The story of our called to salvation where God participate in our life via a mystical union. This participation is done through Christ in faith. Christ participate and cooperate with us by empowering us through the giving of gifts (Charisma) to serve our neighbours as God would cared for them and love them. The Call to Salvation (our being/identity/purpose) and the work we do (our doing / sanctification) are seen to be intricately woven together in the holistic redemptive plan of God. This is the biblical foundation of the integration.
