For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 ESV
God’s economy is the opposite of the earthly economy. In the earthly economy, we pay first and then receive the goods. In God’s economy we receive the free and unearned gift of redemption out of God’s desire that we surrender and accept salvation. His Holy desire is that we be restored in relationship with Him. In God’s economy, we confess our sin to God and ask Him to forgive us. He is faithful. He will restore right relationship.
Doing business with God includes evangelizing and discipleship. God dispenses His riches into us, the vessels He created. As His stewards, and out of gratitude at our undeserved riches of redemption, we share those riches with others. We partner with God in having others exchange a life of sin and death for one of eternal life and fellowship with Him. This is God’s economy. This is love.
