Good Profit
Charles G. Koch
First, few worked by the hour, but rather by the day or even season. So, there was no incentive to work longer in a day or even week. Additional work had little prospect of raising the standard of living significantly because of a shortage of consumer goods beyond the basics. Even if wages went up, there was little incentive to work more. Some might have worked less. A low-growth economy led people to expect a fixed level of consumption.
God made all things to relate to each other and to himself in ways that he determined. That means that the universe is orderly. We cannot see the full extent of this orderliness now because of the confusion introduced by sin. The disorder that sin worked is referred to in the Bible as death. Jesus Christ restores life by restoring relationships. Through the gospel we are able to see the real nature of the problem by looking at how God dealt with it.
