Work in heaven & earth

We discussed whether there is work in heaven. Since God worked and there was work in the Garden of Eden, the logical conclusion is that there will be. Furthermore, the following passages also suggest that:

• John 14:2b
• Rev 22:3b
• Is 65:21
• Is 65:23
• Rev 7:15

Does work on earth last into heaven? We don't know if the physical work itself will, but as most work impacts people and there will be people in heaven, the effects of work will last. The key passage is 1 Cor 3:13-15.

The main group discussion question was:

• No matter what it is, your daily work should have eternal significance. How would you explain why your work is important to God?
