Thinking Deeper
The fall of man is a sentiment in Christianity to refer to the alteration of humankind from a state of blameless submission to God to a sinful, rebellious state. According to Wolters (2005), the Christian worldview is summarized in terms of creation, the fall, and salvation. In his book’s chapter on design, Wolters stresses that God formed the world by laws. There are specific ethical standards, standards of conduct, or standards that professionals in various fields must follow(Kierkegaard et al. 2016). As for my area of research and how I can apply my understanding of the fall to research structures in my field of study, it is only fair to refer to deep philosophical and scientific considerations to address it. From a biblical point of view, what occurred consequently on Adam and Eve’s disobedience is often referred to as the Fall of Man(Walters, AM, 2005). Initially, before the fall, humankind sought to know God and follow him. Considering all this information, science, art and culture are good in themselves because God made them. Of course, they all fell, as mentioned in the Bible and as Wolters pointed out. But just as individuals have failed and need redemption, so all areas of life participate in the fall and are to be saved. ” the earth is the Lords and all its fullness,” he tells us in Psalm 24: 1(Bible,2016).
In conclusion, it is safe to indicate that the chapter of the fall can easily mean that it gives an opening to do more research in my field of study. According to Christianity, humankind will continue as God’s representatives on earth where God left him. And our task at least is the development of civilization, and that is what it means. So God’s people must develop and maintain cultural order(Veenstra, T,2014). And the political order. And the economic order. And the social order and so on. These are all aspects of the civilization that God intended to develop and teach a man.
