Get to Work
The Hebrew word under the creation mandate — avodah — means labor, service, and worship simultaneously. Not three concepts that share a word. One concept seen from three angles. Adam wasn't placed in the garden to work and then worship. The tending was the worship. That's what Genesis 3 broke, and what the redemption project is trying to restore.
