Work Is Not A Curse

The Bible does not depict work as a curse or punishment. Before the fall, Adam was tasked with tending the Garden of Eden. The ground was cursed after the fall, making labor harder, but work itself remained good and godly. A job, which is work for pay, may be disliked, but all work, including responsibilities and care, is valuable. The idea of work being a curse comes from the increased difficulty after the fall, not from work itself. Work is essential, serving others, and accumulating rewards beyond money. #marcusvbrown #izfly
