God designed people to live in dependence on him and in interdependence with the created world: In Hebrew, humankind is adam, and the ground is adamah. This design has been complicated by our fall into sin, but it is being redeemed by the work of Christ. When Christ returns, he will fully restore our relationship to himself, to our bodies, and to the earth. Until then, Christians have the privilege of living in alignment with our design, while resisting many of the ways our society tends to deny it.
