Trabalho
O trabalho é uma ordenança divina desde a criação. Deus colocou o homem no jardim para cultivar e guardar, revelando que o labor é parte do propósito humano e um meio de glorificá-lo.
Trabalho como vocação divina
Deus nos criou para trabalhar com propósito. O trabalho é expressão da imagem divina em nós e deve ser feito como para o Senhor.

So then, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

Diligência e recompensa
A mão diligente enriquece, mas a preguiça traz pobreza. A Bíblia valoriza o esforço honesto, dedicado e perseverante em toda obra.
Planejamento e excelência
A excelência no trabalho honra a Deus. Devemos nos dedicar com competência, entregar nossos planos ao Senhor e buscar o melhor em cada tarefa.

All Scripture is inspired by God and is beneficial for teaching, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work.
Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world
O contentamento no trabalho
Deus nos dá a capacidade de desfrutar do nosso trabalho. Poder comer, beber e encontrar satisfação em nosso labor é um dom divino.
A responsabilidade cristã
O cristão deve trabalhar com suas próprias mãos, viver dignamente e ser exemplo de dedicação. Quem não trabalha, não coma.
For even when we were with you, we gave you this command: "If anyone is not willing to work, neither should he eat." For we hear that some among you are walking in idleness, not working at all, but being busybodies. Now we command and exhort such people by our Lord Jesus Christ to work quietly and eat their own bread.
We urge you to aspire to lead a quiet life, to attend to your own affairs, and to work with your own hands, just as we commanded you, so that you may walk properly toward outsiders and not be in need of anything.
He who steals must no longer steal; rather he must labor, doing honest work with his hands, so that he may have something to contribute to anyone in need.
And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance so that you will always have everything you need to abound in every good work.
So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For anyone who has entered God’s rest has rested from his own works, just as God rested from his.
Look at the birds of the sky: They do not sow or reap or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
Now who will harm you if you become imitators of what is good?
Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do. He will even do greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.
But I take no account of these things, nor do I regard my life as precious to myself, if only I may complete my course with joy and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
Watch yourselves, so that we do not lose what we have worked for, but may receive a full reward.
