The Bible begins with creation (Genesis 1 and 2) and ends with new creation (Revelation 21 and 22). The fall (Genesis 3) and final judgment (Revelation 20) are thus located within the wider narrative of creation and new creation. In other words, the story of the Bible is not about us, but about the whole of creation (which, of course, includes us)!
Dr Christopher Wright on the Mission of God
1. God's whole mission is for God's whole church.
2. The whole church's mission includes every church member.
3. Every church member's mission includes the whole of life.
