Religion professor Albert Wolters, in Creation Regained, writes, "{God} hangs on to his fallen original creation and salvages it. He refuses to abandon the work of his hands-in fact, he sacrifices his own Son to save his original project. Humankind, which has botched its original mandate and the whole creation along with it, is given another chance in Christ; we are reinstated as God's managers on earth. The original good creation is to be restored."74
In "Creation Regained," Albert Wolters discusses the deep connection between God and His original creation, emphasizing that despite humanity's flaws, God remains committed to salvaging it. He highlights how God refuses to abandon His creation, even going so far as to sacrifice His Son for its redemption. This profound act illustrates the extent of God's love and dedication to His work, reinforcing the idea that creation is not beyond salvation.
The message carries a significant implication for humanity; we are granted another opportunity to fulfill our role as stewards of the earth. Through Christ, we are reinstated in our position, allowing us to participate in the restoration of the original goodness of creation. This perspective underscores the hope that, despite past failures, there is a divine plan for renewal and redemption in the world.
