Biblical Answer

The Nature of Business and the Transience of Life

As a Christian, it's essential to understand that our business, like our life, is temporary and subject to change. We should not become overly attached to our business or any earthly pursuits, as they are not eternal. Our true fulfillment and satisfaction come from our relationship with Jesus Christ. When we're focused on our business, we can become consumed by the "what ifs" – what if I lose my business, what if I fail, what if I'm not successful? These worries can lead to anxiety and fear, which can distract us from our true purpose in life.

The Importance of Stewardship and Trust

As Christians, we're called to be good stewards of the resources God has given us, including our business. We should use our skills and talents to serve others and bring glory to God. However, we must also acknowledge that our business is not our own, but rather a tool God has entrusted to us. We should not become so attached to our business that we forget our dependence on God. When we trust in God's sovereignty and provision, we can face uncertainty and change with confidence, knowing that He is in control. This trust allows us to live with a sense of freedom and purpose, even in the midst of uncertainty.

A Biblical Perspective on Business and Legacy

When we consider the question of what will happen to our business when we're gone, we must remember that our true legacy is not our business, but our relationship with God and the impact we've had on others. As Christians, we're called to leave a lasting impact on the world, not just through our business, but through our faith and our love for others. When we focus on building a legacy that honors God, we can face the uncertainty of our business's future with peace and confidence, knowing that our true legacy will endure long after we're gone. This perspective encourages us to use our business as a platform to serve others and bring glory to God, rather than becoming overly attached to our own success. By trusting in God's sovereignty and provision, we can live with a sense of purpose and fulfillment, even in the midst of uncertainty.
