Youth for Eco-Justice Day 15

And just like that this incredible experience is over and I'm on my way home. I'm sad, but I have a lot of work to do back in Perth launching the Five Leaf Eco-Awards and my new Churches for Conservation project so I suppose I won't have too much time to miss everyone. Besides, I don't believe this is the end. I'm looking forward to continuing to work with my new friends around this world to try and bring some of the hope and light of our faith into our future.

Important Lessons from the Bible

Why Jesus came:
"that the world might be saved through him"
John 3:17

Who Jesus is going to use to save the world:
"For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God."
Romans 8:19

Our role on earth:
"The LORD God put the man in the Garden of Eden to take care of it and to look after it."
Genesis 2:15

The Five Pillars of A Christian Theology of Sustainability

1. God is the creator, sustainer and redeemer of creation.

2. Covenantal Stewardship (we have a covenant with God as stewards of the earth).

3. The creation-fall-redemption paradigm (God made a good world; human failure broke the relationships between god, man and creation; Christ provides hope for all creation).

4.Bodily resurrection(we will rise with bodies, not as spirits)

5.New Creation (a new Heaven and new Earth refers to a renewal and an earthing of heaven, not starting over).
