The Eden Mandate
from The Cosmic Car Wash Hosted by Paul & Rick
God's charge to Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply, to fill the earth and subdue it, to take charge over creation was given before sin entered the picture. What does that mean for us today? Work is part of the blessing, not part of the curse. The Eden Mandate is to go into our world and bring order where there's chaos, healing where there's pain, justice where there's injustice, and life where there is death. We are God's workmanship, his "poiema," the Greek word from which we get our word "poem." He created us carefully, masterfully, to work in the beautiful world He gave us. We are His partners in healing the world.
