 Answer for PHI 413 According to the four parts of the Christian biblical narrative (i.e., creation, fall, redemption, and restoration) that informs us about the nature of God, where would you find comfort and hope in the midst of sickness and disease?

Re: Topic 3 DQ 2

The four parts of the Christian biblical narrative provide a context of how things began, came to be, and will eventually become. The hope and comfort that I find within the bible is that one day we will be given the chance to join God in the kingdom of heaven. Franklin (2020) Prophets would speak about shalom, which is when people would no longer run away from God and instead join in a harmonious relationship with God. It’s important to seek out God in order to receive his blessings in life. I think it’s important to note, Jesus Christ sacrificing himself was important for us as humans because it gave us a chance to rejoin God in his kingdom. All things will return into Shalom through Christ dying on the cross, setting free from the corruption and gaining freedom of being a child of God (Hoehner, 2022).

Redemption remains the most important in my view. The second most important part of the Christian narrative is the restoration of mankind with God and removal of all disease and suffering (Hoehner, 2022). As discussed in the Old Testament, Shalom is being at peace with God (Franklin, 2020). The promise by God is of abundance of life, and salvation (Franklin, 2020). The restoration applies to our health care ethics as death only means the beginning of life in all of eternity with God. Nurses help with the restoration of health and rehabilitation of humans to their highest capacity (Hoehner, 2022). Human beings may not be referred as only physical beings but multidimensional beings which are united of the body and soul (Hoehner, 2022). It’s our mission to one day return back to our lord and savior, Jesus Christ.
