To reiterate the main point, we cannot have a good theology of salvation if we do not begin with a good theology of creation. This whole world is God’s creation, just as our bodies are his creation that he pronounced to be good. God is not consigning our bodies to the dustbin and saving only our souls. “Ashes to ashes, dust to dust” is not the last word on our bodies. No! And the fact that he is redeeming our bodies is emblematic of his larger goal of saving his good but fallen creation in its entirety.
