The Gospel restores to us the hope of the Glory which we rejected and fell short of. Remember that the essence of our sin was that we rejected the glory of God, trying to find beauty and meaning in that which is less than God. This is what has corrupted our personalities.

I'm assuming you are posting your articles to elicit comments. Not to nitpick but to be honest I'm not sure what you are saying. I don't see how trying to find beauty and meaning in that which is less than God would be the essence of sin. Everything in creation is less than God and there is beauty and meaning in all creation.

Romans talks about those who worship the creation more than the creator, but that goes above and beyond finding meaning and beauty in creation or other things such as music or art or food. I think it is quite possible to find beauty and meaning in things that are less than God and walk with God at the same time

I think it is quite possible to find beauty and meaning in things that are less than God and walk with God at the same time I Know that but that is not at all what I said-
