nuance

Grant gave us a narrative structure for Romans 8 in his talk last night. I was extremely blessed by it and can’t wait to read my Bible with the express purpose of finding myself in the story…and hearing God speak to me.

Grant structured it this way:

STORY –>

Writer = God

Protagonist = us, those who love God

Plot = redemption/glory

Conflict = suffering/groaning

Climax = salvation/everything works for good/reconciliation

Resolution = the work of the Spirit/final glorification

And in God’s story there is an added element unique to him: Confirmation.

This confirmation brings the nature of the story into full focus: It is not a comedy, nor a trajedy, but rather a LOVE STORY.
