The Greek verb geōrgeō (γεωργέω) means to till or cultivate the ground — to engage in farming or agricultural work. It appears only once in the New Testament (Hebrews 6:7), in an agricultural metaphor describing land that drinks rain and produces crops as evidence of blessing.
The agricultural metaphor of geōrgeō in Hebrews 6:7-8 illustrates the principle of spiritual fruitfulness. Land that receives God's rain (His word and grace) and produces useful crops receives blessing; land that produces thorns and briars faces burning. This does not speak to loss of salvation but to the seriousness of spiritual fruitfulness. Jesus's parable of the vine and branches carries similar weight: branches that bear fruit are tended; fruitless branches are removed. The geōrgos (farmer/gardener) — a title used of both God and human stewards — tends toward fruitfulness.
