The faith that Paul sketches teaches that we love one another to reflect God’s rule in our Adamic vocation, bringing about the fulfilment of God’s original plan. This is what Christ taught: peacemakers are the children of God, the new Adam and Eve, presiding over and inheriting the creation. (Matthew 5:9) “You are the light of the world:” the light of creation shining through the new Adams into a restored creation. (Matthew 5:14) This is what John taught: Christ comes in a renewal of creation, to push back the darkness, to raise up the new Adam and Eve. (John 1:5, 12)
