What do the four parts of the Christian biblical narrative (i.e., creation, fall, redemption, and restoration) say about the nature of God and of reality in relation to the reality of sickness and disease? From where would one find comfort and hope in the light of illness according to this narrative? Explain in detail each part of the narrative above and analyze the implications.
The biblical narrative of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration tells us a lot about the nature of God and reality in relation to sickness and disease. In the creation story, we see that God created everything good. But then in the fall story, sin entered the world and everything changed. Sickness and disease came into the world as a result of sin. But even though things are not perfect now, God is still working to redeem and restore His creation. In the redemption story, we see that Jesus died on the cross to save us from our sins. And in the restoration story, we see that God will one day make all things new again. So even though sickness and disease are a part of this fallen world, we can have hope because we know that God is ultimately in control and will one day make everything right again.
