The Divine Partnership Through Work
“All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” John 1:3
Christ was fully involved in the work of creation (John 1:3). In fact, all three Persons of the Trinity worked together to bring the world into existence – Father (Gen. 1:1; John 5:17), Son (John 1:10; Col. 1:16), and Holy Spirit (Gen. 1:2; Job 33:4).
Many people tend to think of God’s divine partnership only in terms of the work of salvation. But the three members of the Godhead are just as involved in the ongoing work of providing and caring for all creatures and maintaining the created order. In fact, their creative work continues even now in the heavens, as God prepares eternal dwelling places for believers (John 14:2-3; Rev. 21:1-2, 5).
Remarkably, this working, triune God invites people to work with Him as junior members in the partnership, to accomplish His work in the world. In our day-to-day jobs, God asks us to do only what He has been doing from the beginning; to be creative in work.
For the kingdom,
