The New Testament picks up from the Old the theme that God intends, in the end, to put the whole creation to rights.

It is faith alone that justifies, but faith that justifies can never be alone, though one is justified by faith alone, the faith which justifies is never in fact alone.

The cross is the place where, and the means by which, God loved us to the uttermost.

Hope, for the Christian, is not wishful thinking or mere blind optimism. It is a mode of knowing, a mode within which new things are possible, options are not shut down, new creation can happen.

God's plan is not to abandon this world, the world which he said was "very good." Rather, he intends to remake it. And when he does he will raise all his people to new bodily life to live in it. That is the promise of the Christian gospel.

The New Testament picks up from the Old the theme that God intends, in the end, to put the whole creation to rights.
