Super encouraging. I love the course correction from the medieval/secular view of determinism vs. free will to a view toward God’s purposes through Christ for the whole creation. We are so guilty of making eschatology and soteriology about us and whether we go to heaven or hell. It is appropriately humbling to remember that God’s plan is not just about me being saved but about all creation being renewed in Jesus, which is then worked out by us reclaiming the true human vocation of image-bearers in the world.
