Outline

Hook: What is the main narrative tension in the Bible? Thus, in life?

I. CREATION: Humanity enjoying God!
"Creation is an act of imaginative love." - Cornelius Plantinga

II. FALL: Humanity losing God!
We are broken, true enough. But we are not simply malfunctioning. We are not machines that nee to be fixed. We are transgressors who need to be forgiven." - Gregory Koukl

III. REDEMPTION: God Finding Humanity!
"Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are because the party wouldn't have been complete without you. Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid. I am with you. Nothing can ever separate us." - Frederick Buechner

Takeaway: The chief end of man is to glorify God by enjoying Him forever.
