This diagram
illustrates the point that the doctrine of work has its foundation in
Genesis. By the way, there was a doctrine of work before the Fall, but
the nature of man's work changed after the Fall. Originally, man was to
work in the Garden to look after it for the Lord. But after Adam sinned,
instead of God providing the food in the Garden, man would now have to
work hard to till the ground in order to obtain food. Thus, one could
say that there was no agriculture in the sense of tilling ground for crops
before the Fall.
This is also alluded to in Genesis 2:5. This is a description of what
things were like before Adam sinned. As Genesis 2:5-24 is a detailed description
of the sixth day of Creation, Genesis 2:5 is part of the 'setting of the
scene'-explaining what the world was like before sin. That is, before
the Fall, man didn't have to till the ground.
The point is, the doctrine of work, like all other Biblical doctrines,
has its foundation in the first eleven chapters of the Bible. This correlates
with Paul's teaching in 2 Thessalonians 3:10: 'For even when we were with
you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should
he eat.'
