In the ancient world, "work" was a dirty word. Greeks and Romans thought all kinds of labor, even mental labor, was demeaning and fit only for slaves or people of inferior status. Paul's command to work slices through these vapid cultural perspectives on work with a robust Biblical imperative. As part of his instruction the ethical life that causes the glory of God to shine in this world through His redeemed image bearers, Paul commands believers to work with their hands in order that they might have something to share with those in need. This message roots the command to work in the broader Biblical framework, explores the connection between work and the imago dei, and concludes by touching on Reformation era formulation of the doctrine of vocation.
