In his book "Heaven," Randy Alcorn discusses the interconnectedness of humanity and the earth, emphasizing that both were affected by the Curse introduced in Genesis 3:17. This biblical event led to frustration and deterioration in both creation and human existence, highlighting the profound relationship between man and the world. Alcorn suggests that since they fell together due to sin, they are destined to rise together as well.

Alcorn's perspective portrays a vision of hope, where the restoration of creation is intertwined with the redemption of humanity. This implies that the healing and renewal that await both the earth and human beings are part of a divine plan, demonstrating their unity in both suffering and salvation.
