Biblical Answer

The Bible teaches that serving others is a fundamental aspect of Christian living. In fact, the gospel of Christ is the call to serve others, regardless of our social status or occupation. As Christians, we are called to look out for the interests of others, not just our own interests. This means that our business, regardless of its nature, should be a means of serving others. In fact, the Bible commands us to be helpful to others and to take heed of partaking with others in what is forbidden them. This means that our business should be a means of serving others, not just a means of making a profit.

However, serving others in our business is not just about doing good deeds or being philanthropic. It's about living out the inner reality of being a servant of Christ. It's about being commissioned by God to serve others for His sake. This means that our business should be a reflection of our identification with the nature of God, and that service should become a natural part of our lives. We should not assume that our schedule is our own to manage, but allow it to be arranged by God. We should be open to the influence of others and be willing to take heed of what God is saying to us.

In order to live out this call to serve others in our business, we need to be willing to let go of our own selfish desires and ambitions. We need to be willing to be servants of others, not just masters of our own domain. This means that we need to be willing to listen to others, to be open to their perspectives and ideas, and to be willing to serve them. We need to be willing to put others before ourselves and to seek the interests of others. This is the call of the gospel, and it is the key to living a purposeful life directed towards its true goal. By serving others in our business, we can bring glory to God and reflect His nature to the world.
