Check This Out…
In the beginning, God created a wonderful, perfect world where humanity, the environment, culture and God all lived in perfect unity. (Genesis 1:26-30)

But even though everything was created good and perfect, the people God created decided to take matters in to their own hands and brought sin into the world. (Genesis 3:1-19) This affected humans, the environment, culture, and our relationship with God. We can now die, and creation and culture is groaning to be released from suffering (Romans 8:21). Worst of all, the harmony with God we had in the Garden of Eden was thrown off.

God loved us too much, however, to let us stay in our broken state. So he sent his Son, Jesus, to pay the debt for the sins we committed, and to defeat the power of death through his death on the cross. If we choose to put our trust in Christ, our relationship with God, culture, the environment, and one another is restored (Colossians 2:13-15).

Because of this restoration, we can bring healing to our world and those who do not know Jesus. We become agents in his Kingdom Revolution to bring hope, healing, and forgiveness to the world (2 Corinthians 5:18-20).

The great news is that the world will fully be made new someday when Jesus returns. Our world will not be permanently damaged (Isaiah 65:17-25, Revelation 21:1-7). But we can’t just sit by and wait for it to happen, God wants to use us today.
