What Is Jehovah's View Of Work

What is Jehovah’s view of work?

 Jehovah himself loves to work. Genesis 1:1 states: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” After God finished making the earth and everything on it, he said that his creation was “very good.” (Genesis 1:31) Our Creator was satisfied with what he had made.​—1 Timothy 1:11. 

Jehovah never stops working. Jesus said: “My Father has kept working until now.” (John 5:17)

 While we don’t know about all the marvelous things Jehovah has been doing, we do know about some of them. He has been selecting those who will rule with his Son, Jesus Christ, as part of the Kingdom. (2 Corinthians 5:17)

 Jehovah is also actively guiding and caring for humans. As a result of the worldwide preaching work, millions are coming to know Jehovah and have the hope of living forever on a paradise earth.​—John 6:44; Romans 6:23.6.

 What kind of worker is Jesus? 6 Like his Father, Jesus loves to work. Before he came to earth, Jesus was God’s “master worker,” sharing in the creation of all things in heaven and on earth. (Proverbs 8:22-31; Colossians 1:15-17) 

While on earth, Jesus continued to work hard. As a young man, he learned to be a skilled carpenter, likely building both furniture and houses. Jesus became so good at his work that he was known as “the carpenter.”​—Mark 6:3. Yet, Jesus’ most important work on earth was preaching the good news and teaching people about Jehovah
