God sees work as essentially good. God created a physical world and it was good. He gave Adam work to tend that creation. Work is therefore divinely ordained.
God sees work as blessing. His first command to mankind was to go and multiply, to fill the earth and bless it. Mankind has a mandate to work and to develop and grow. Mankind did not have the task merely to maintain the status quo but to develop and grow what he had been given.
God sees work as worship – our heart and character are revealed in what we do and how we do it. The scriptures refer to honesty and diligence in work. Most Christians are not ‘full time’ workers, as pastors or missionaries, etc. We work in offices, factories, schools, building sites, fields, etc. We express our faith and hope in God in these contexts.
Work develops honesty and generosity (Eph 4.28). Paul writes to commend work, to provide for ourselves and our families, as well was being generous. Do not be idle. So strong was this command that Christians were warned to keep away from those who do not obey! (1 Thess 4.11 & 2 Thess 3.6-12)
Christ frequently spoke of work and market places. Lots of His parables are work-related. He spent time with working people; fishermen, tax collectors and others.
