The other day I was listening to the Christian radio
station while driving my car…
And I couldn’t believe what the guest on the program said!
According to him, “work is the result of the Fall.”
When I heard that, I said out loud…
Whaaaat????
No
WAY!
It actually made me kind of mad.
Here’s a professor at a well-known Bible college…
And what he said is completely false.
We do NOT have to work because mankind fell into sin.
God designed from the beginning that we would
work… before the Fall took place (Genesis 1:28;2:15).
So keep it in mind…
The work you do is NOT some kind of punishment.
God has given you your work as a way to serve your fellow man and fulfill your role in His kingdom.
Yes… sin makes our work
toilsome.
But with Jesus we can be confident our toil is not in vain.
