Work is a very common terminology used in various spheres of life even the kingdom of God. In this short study, we are going to be considering what this work is and why we should do all diligence to be a part of it. Source
Ephesians 4:1 “I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called.” Paul speaking to the believers at Ephesus admonishes them to walk worthy of the vocation wherewith they were called, this leads us to the understanding that every believer is called first and to a vocation. Now a vocation is an occupation for which a person is qualified or trained for, therefore to be a believer is synonymous to being a worker. Our first question would be that what is this work to which we have being called?
WHATWORK
To every job occupation, there is a specification and a purpose of that work, it is no different here. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, land and sea, animals and tree and so on, but most importantly God created man; whom he created in his own image and likeness. Eph 2:10 says that we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works, here again work is being mentioned, which is to say we were created for a work.Rev 4:11
“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created” tells us what that work is, each time the Lord God finished a creation, He always said it was good. The work is simply “the pleasing of God”, even He performed the work of creation to please himself and we now as a product of his creation are to please him. The work is the fulfilment of God’s pleasure.
Our next consideration is that since there is a work to be done, earlier established we are the ones as Christians to handle the work, but how? <a href="
