After the fall, you need grace. Common grace starts with God not letting us back to the tree of life. Christians and non-Christians alike are under common grace and common curse. There isn't a Christian plumbing and a Christian art and a Christian nation. It's all common, but it's under God's common grace as well as a common curse.
When we talk about work, it’s easy to jump right to the Fall and consider how work is frustrated by sin. But how does the pre-Fall creation narrative shape our understanding of vocation? And what does that mean for a post-Fall reality? In this episode of White Horse Inn, Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, and Bob Hiller are joined by special guest Walter Strickland in a new series examining the doctrine of vocation. This episode looks at the goodness inherent to work, what it looks like to image God in our vocations, and how the Sabbath shapes our approach to the work week.
