Henry asserts that work, originating with God, is a calling for humanity to co-create and care for creation. Challenging the notion of work as a post-sin curse, he emphasizes it as a pre-fall gift, intrinsically valuable regardless of occupation, and essential to God's kingdom. All honest work, when done for the Lord, is sacred, and equally valuable in God's eyes as those with the same calling are one, regardless of occupation. Henry encourages a shift in perspective viewing work not as a means to an end but as a means of glorifying God, finding purpose, and contributing to the common good. This perspective impacts not only work but also leisure and retirement, advocating for continued contribution as long as health allows, aligning with God's purpose for each individual.
