In Genesis 3, 17 and 18 in parts 19 cursed as the ground because of you in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life. We also know that there's going to be pain and childbirth. So it sounds like both the multiplying and having dominion are frustrated by the fall. The trajectory of our work is bent towards ourselves as opposed to others.
When we talk about work, it’s easy to jump right to the Fall and consider how work is frustrated by sin. But how does the pre-Fall creation narrative shape our understanding of vocation? And what does that mean for a post-Fall reality? In this episode of White Horse Inn, Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, and Bob Hiller are joined by special guest Walter Strickland in a new series examining the doctrine of vocation. This episode looks at the goodness inherent to work, what it looks like to image God in our vocations, and how the Sabbath shapes our approach to the work week.
