But if humans are earth-creatures, then redemption must heal our belonging, not abolish it.
@HaddenTurner @affinitytalks 18/ This is where "the necessity for good work" stops being mere agrarian pragmatism and becomes central to the public form of redeemed creatureliness. Good work isn't what saves the world. God redeems. But good work is what covenant-keeping looks like when the Kingdom breaks in.
