Sometimes our Ulster evangelicalism is far too narrow in its scope. We rightly talk about the need for sinful human beings to be saved through faith in Jesus Christ. But sometimes we behave as if this is the beginning and end of the Gospel. What we find as we move further into Romans chapter 8 is an ever increasing perspective that reveals to us that the gospel is so much wider and deeper and all encompassing than many of us ever realised. God's plan of salvation involves nothing less than the renewal of the whole created order - it is cosmic in its scale As Andrew Ollerton says, “The redemption of humanity includes the promise of a renewed creation. Remember the Gospel is not only personal and relational. It is also cosmic good news.”
