Work is not some post-fall aberration. Work is a blessing (1:28). Work is a gift. And work is intrinsic to the human creature because it is intrinsic to the Creator himself.

God works, and it follows that because we are made in his image (Genesis 1:26-27), we work too.

The Bible says, “[God] has created us for a life of good deeds, which he has already prepared for us to do.”1 These “good deeds” are your service. Whenever you serve others in any way, you are actually serving God2 and fulfilling one of your purposes.
