Figure 3: The redemptive work of Christ, modeled in the creation account
and in Israel's redemption,
forms the foundation of a restored relationship to God. Rest in that work, faith, life in the Spirit, and the lordship of Christ form the
four essentials of this relationship.
The Fall of
Man
His Heart
His Soul
His Mind
His Strength
The Model of
Restoration
"I am the Lord
your God, ... you
shall have no other
gods before Me."
"You shall not make
any carved image,
... you shall not
bow down to them
nor serve them."
"You shall not take
the name of the
Lord your God in
vain."
"Remember the
Sabbath day, to
keep it holy."
