| description | The purpose of this paper is to explain the concept of unequal yoke and its application in
workplace environment. This paper fully discussed how Christians as believers should relate with
unbelievers in workplace environment. For Christians to keep both physical and social distance
from unbelievers may hinder Christians from implementing the objective of the Great Commission
which is to spread the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to all nations. This paper further explains
why Christians must participate in the business activities with unbelievers. Christians must work
with unbelievers in the same work environment and use the same opportunity to evangelize to
them, and win their souls. However, Christians must not participate with unbelievers in activities
that negate the Christian doctrines which are against Christian beliefs and values. |
