Work was never meant to be a struggle, yet we experience frustration, exhaustion, and even resentment toward our jobs. Why? The Bible reveals that work is part of God’s good design, but sin has corrupted it, turning labor into toil (Ge 3:17–19). Yet, Christ’s redemption renews our work, calling us to labor not for wealth or status, but as service to him (Col 3:23). One day, in the new creation, work will be fully restored—free from frustration, overflowing with joy (Rev 22:3–5). Until then, we work with purpose, knowing that even the most mundane tasks have eternal significance in God’s kingdom.
