...The 4 Truths....

Concise Understanding of the Christian Bible/Scripture

Creation
The God of the Scripture created a world and said,
"It is good." God built into creation an essential inter-dependence between all that was created.

The Fall
Man chose not to depend upon the Creator, Yahweh, and sin entered the world. What was good became broken...Not destroyed but distorted.

Christ Event
God loved His creation and chose to bring it back into harmony. Jesus was sent to right the wrong that resulted from the FALL. The CHRIST EVENT includes Christ's birth, life, death, resurrection, ascension, and return.

Consummation
A time when all that was "fixed" by Christ will be completed, since at this time the creation has not been brought back into harmony with God.

The whole of the Scripture Story is closely bound to the 4-Truths.
The relationship between God and man is faith from the creation and on into Eternity . . .
The 4 Truths provide a simple framework for understanding the whole of Scripture.
All of the stories, doctrines, prophesies, and our world order can be woven around the 4 Truths.

God made everything and it was good.
Man with his free will chose to not depend on or have faith in God which resulted in the "good" not being as good. Since God loved His creation, Jesus Christ came to right the "curse" that Adam and Eve's sin bought into/onto the world. Not everything is "fixed" yet at some point because of and through the work of Christ, things will be "fixed."
