我们相信圣经的元叙事表现在四个关键的创造关系中. (1) Fellowship: The relationship between God and man. God created man for relationship with Himself; that relationship was broken because of sin; that relationship is restored through Jesus Christ. (2)形象承载者:人是作为一个完整的、健康的存在而被造的, as an imagebearer of God; sin brought disharmony and conflict into the life and heart of man. 通过耶稣基督的救赎开始了人内心的治愈过程. (3) Servanthood: God created man for harmonious and loving relationships with other people; sin is the cause of disharmony and discord among people; part of restoring mission of Jesus Christ is to bring people back into harmonious relationship with one another. (4) Stewardship: God placed the whole created order under the rule and care of His image-bearers (Genesis 1); with the Fall, the relationship between man and the rest of the created order was marred; In Jesus Christ, 神继续呼召拥有祂形象的人来保守和保护受造的秩序.
