It encompasses both physical and spiritual dimensions, reflecting humanity's role in creation and stewardship. The Bible presents work as an integral part of human existence, established by God from the beginning. Biblical Foundation: The concept of work is introduced in the creation narrative. In <a href="/genesis/2-15.htm">Genesis 2:15</a> , it is written, "Then the LORD God took the man and placed him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it." This verse underscores the divine mandate for humanity to engage in productive labor, highlighting work as a means of stewardship over God's creation. Work as a Divine Ordinance: Work is portrayed as a blessing and a responsibility. In <a href="/exodus/20-9.htm">Exodus 20:9-10</a> , the commandment to observe the Sabbath includes the directive, "Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God." This passage emphasizes the balance between work and rest, indicating that labor is a part of God's design for human life. The Dignity of Work: The Bible affirms the dignity of work, regardless of its nature. <a href="/colossians/3-23.htm">Colossians 3:23</a> instructs, "Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the Lord and not for men." This verse encourages believers to approach their tasks with dedication and integrity, viewing their labor as service to God. Work and Provision: Work is also seen as a means of provision. <a href="/proverbs/14-23.htm">Proverbs 14:23</a> states, "There is profit in all labor, but mere talk leads only to poverty." This wisdom literature highlights the practical benefits of diligent work, contrasting it with idleness and its consequences. Work and Community: The New Testament emphasizes the communal aspect of work. In <a href="/2_thessalonians/3-10.htm">2 Thessalonians 3:10</a> , Paul writes, "For even while we were with you, we gave you this command: If anyone is unwilling to work, he shall not eat." This instruction underscores the importance of contributing to the community and the expectation of mutual support through labor. Work and Spiritual Growth: Work is also a context for spiritual growth and character development. <a href="/james/1-4.htm">James 1:4</a> notes, "Allow perseverance to finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." This passage suggests that the challenges and perseverance required in work can lead to spiritual maturity. Work and the Example of Christ: Jesus Christ serves as the ultimate example of work. In <a href="/john/5-17.htm">John 5:17</a> , Jesus declares, "My Father is always at His work to this very day, and I too am working." Christ's earthly ministry was marked by tireless service and dedication, providing a model for believers to emulate in their own labor. Eschatological Perspective: The Bible also offers an eschatological perspective on work. <a href="/revelation/14-13.htm">Revelation 14:13</a> promises, "Then I heard a voice from heaven saying, 'Write: Blessed are the dead—those who die in the Lord from this moment on.' 'Yes,' says the Spirit, 'they will rest from their labors, for their deeds will follow them.'" This assurance of rest and reward for faithful labor provides hope and motivation for believers. Conclusion: The biblical view of work is multifaceted, encompassing creation, provision, community, and spiritual growth. It is a divine ordinance that reflects God's character and purposes, offering dignity and meaning to human labor.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
