“Just as all our cultural life is created and thus under God’s rule, and as we are called to serve him in all that we do, so all of our life is now fallen.”(70)
Redemption
The beauty behind the biblical worldview is that it does not allow us to wallow in the claims of our fallen state. Rather, it comes with good news and it comes to bring us hope. Such as, the Bible promises that Satan’s illegitimate claims will one days cease; his kingdom will be destroyed. In the very chapter recording the Fall, the announcement of God’s redemptive plan is also written. Embedded in the covenant curse, comes promise of an end to these curses. Redemptive history, proceeds primarily through a series of historical covenants, which God established with mankind. God begins to relate to us in salvation thus builds on his original, relationship with creation itself. Redemption just like creation is covenantal. This is the upbringing of redemptive history, we now have the new covenant unveiled by Jesus and sealed by his blood. The victory of God’s kingdom required, by the death of Jesus Christ, who suffered our covenant curse for our sins.
