Saving the Cosmos

Since we live in our little worlds, it is a good thing to remember that God ‘breathed’ into being the whole cosmos. Christ helps us to bring healing and unity to the world. By the leading of the Holy Spirit we can think globally and act locally. By following Jesus teachings we can fight consumerism, and learn to live more satisfying and faithful lives. With the God’s help, we can make sure our impact on the cosmos is not bigger than our place in it.
The cosmos is singing praises to God, and we need to join the chorus

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).
