To Work!
In Genesis 2:15, Adam's job in the Garden was to "tend and keep" or "cultivate and guard."
Genesis 2:15New King James Version (NKJV)15 Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.
This would imply that God wanted a relationship with His creation by letting them share in the responsibilities of 'keeping' (to guard or preserve) and 'dressing' (making it better) the Garden.
Even after their fall out of the Garden, God continued to have mankind cultivate the ground (see Genesis 3:22-24).
It is through our physical actions of striving to embellish, dress, tend and keep - cultivate the land, that we understand the process of how God wants us to have a relationship with Him. We are to learn His Law, repent of our sins, outwardly show our desire to change into a new person via baptism, and follow in the footsteps of Christ with the indwelling help of His Holy Spirit. It this spiritual sense then, God wants to 'cultivate' mankind into His spiritual family.
In order for God to do this, even with the Adversary - Satan - striving to prevent us from finding The Way and keeping it, and giving mankind free will even with our propensities to go the wrong way, God has a Plan of Salvation for mankind. He pictures it for us in His Seven Annual Holy Days - centered around cultivating and keeping us all.
The payment for all sins has already been made via Christ our Passover. Our work now is to 'sweep' out all sins in our lives and live like Christ as the Days of Unleavened Breadpictures. Throughout the reign of Man, God has called out in their lifetimes people to help show God's way of life and to help all others by their examples. These are called the Firstfruits (see James 1:18 and many others). They are part of the Church of God, Jesus established on the first Pentecost (The Feast of Weeks). The remaining 4 High Holy Days in God's Plan of cultivating mankind are in the future somewhere but their names may be read in Leviticus 23.
