Biblical Answer

The Sovereignty of God in Business

As a Christian, you may have heard that God is sovereign over all creation, including your business. But what does this mean for your company after you're gone? The Bible teaches that God is all-powerful and all-knowing, and that He has a plan for every aspect of our lives, including our businesses. This means that even if you're not actively involved in your business, God is still in control and will continue to guide and direct it.

The Importance of Leaving a Legacy

As a business owner, you may be thinking about the legacy you want to leave behind. But from a Christian perspective, our legacy is not just about the success or failure of our business, but about the impact we have on others and the kingdom of God. When you're gone, your business may continue to operate, but it's up to you to ensure that it's operating in a way that honors God and reflects His values. This means being intentional about creating a culture of integrity, compassion, and service, and passing on your values and principles to your employees and successors.

The Role of Faith in Business

So, what happens to your business after you're gone? The answer is that it will continue to operate, but it's up to you to ensure that it's operating in a way that honors God and reflects His values. This requires faith, trust, and obedience to God's Word. As a Christian business owner, you have a responsibility to seek God's guidance and direction for your business, and to be faithful in carrying out His will. This means being willing to surrender your business to God and trust Him to guide and direct it, even when you're not actively involved. By doing so, you can be confident that your business will continue to operate in a way that honors God and brings glory to His name.
