What does the Bible say about the work of God?

Answered in 12 sources

The Bible teaches that the work of God is undertaken by His chosen people, who are called to be diligent in their efforts for His glory.

The work of God, as illustrated in Nehemiah, emphasizes the collective responsibility of God's people to engage actively in rebuilding and restoration. Nehemiah 4:6 states that the wall was built because 'the people had a mind to work.' This reflects a theological principle that God's sovereignty does not negate human responsibility; rather, it entails a cooperative effort whereby His people are actively involved in fulfilling His purposes. Scripture reminds us that we are to serve with diligence, knowing that God is working through us to accomplish His will.
