Doctrine of Creation: Episode Two

We continue our series on the doctrine of creation by discussing where we see the related themes of forming and filling in the biblical creation account. We also discuss how the categories of forming and filling help us to understand and live out our God-given work and vocation as human beings.

Here are some questions we discuss:

• How do the categories of forming and filling help us read and understand the creation narrative in Genesis 1-3?

• How does God bring order out of chaos in creation?

• How does proper bounding and ordering lead to greater life, beauty, and freedom in creation and in human life?

• What happens when we try to transcend or throw off the limits that God has given for our good?

• Why does God instruct humans to take dominion of the earth? What does this look like for us today?

• How do the categories of forming and filling shape our work as the people of God in our homes and in the world?

Our series on the doctrine of creation will continue in future episodes. We will cover topics like the goodness and corruption of creation, our bodies, sub-creation, sabbath, and eschatology in relation to creation.
