Work in the real world

Posted on December 22, 2025 Written by Mark McIntyre Leave a Comment

In his book, Every Good Endeavor, Tim Keller writes:

“The gospel is the true story that God made a good world that was marred by sin and evil, but through Jesus Christ he redeemed it at infinite cost to himself, so that someday he will return to renew all creation; end all suffering and death; and restore absolute peace, justice, and joy in the world forever. The vast implications of this gospel worldview—­about the character of God, the goodness of the material creation, the value of the human person, the fallenness of all people and all things, the primacy of love and grace, the importance of justice and truth, the hope of redemption—­affect everything, and especially our work.”

Work (whatever it is you find to do) is often a weird combination of frustration and satisfaction. But the Gospel explains the reason why this is so. The Gospel also gives us hope that one day the frustrating aspects of life and work will be eliminated.

Until that time we press on.
