Genesis 2:15 (ESV)
The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.
The Hebrew word translated as work could have just as easily been translated as serve. The Hebrew word translated as keep could have just as easily been translated as guard. One might say Adam was placed in the garden to serve the Lord, to guard and keep the word of the One who made the garden.
Each one who is taken from the world and placed in the body of Christ is charged with serving the Lord and guarding the flame of life that is to be a light for the world. Those who worship in spirit have become the true garden which pleases and delights the Lord.
