Answer 1

Four parts of the Christian biblical narrative say creation shalom, peace as per God's intention. All the creation of human flourishing worshiping god by gods loves and loving each other.
Fall god's role rejected by Adam and Eve, their action affected us also due to our attitudes and action it causes physical and spiritual death.
Redemption: God shows himself who he is. our sin turn in to evil and God's glory causes good by rescuing us from sin. God restored his people.
Restoration this story is not ended with restoration. God promised to renew the world and gave a glorious future. It is judgment for sin and evil to bring righteousness and peace.
Narrative of scripture final with the death and resurrection of the god. Due to sin in the world death is also entered in the form of illness and disease. God will bring good for everything. the implication of the disregred of god must be made explicit.
