The document outlines a biblical framework for creation care with five key points: 1) It establishes Jesus as Lord of the Sabbath who challenged contemporary interpretations and died for this belief. 2) The Sabbath is modeled on God's work of creation and looks forward to future co-creation by God and humanity. 3) Old Testament institutions like Sabbath days, Sabbath years, and Jubilee years brought redemption to people, land, and all relationships. 4) These institutions were transformed by Christianity into Sunday, the Church, and the coming Kingdom of God. 5) Jesus fulfills the law and displays its themes of faith, hope, and love, guiding humanity's steward

3. 回應：關愛創造的聖經架構 Response: A Biblical Framework for Creation Care

9. 聖經架構的要素 (1) Essentials of the Framework (1) 1. 本於聖經：主題從首到末 2. 以耶穌基督為中心：不是人想出來的宇宙性基督，仍是那結連屬靈與物質的耶穌基督 3. 因救贖而生效：人因此不是有兩個使命，而只有一個使命和一個救贖，以致那唯一的使命可以繼續 1.

Redemption enabled: no two mandates for man, but one mandate and one redemption to enable resumption of that only mandate

Respect reality: poverty and the nature are inseparable; no re-secralisation, but man respects Creation because of the Creator; Jesus died fighting against real evil. 5. Time consistent: man will be endeared to his work in fulfilling his mandate of stewardship 6. Vision led: Future or past? Hope, Faith and Love must take on a creational dimension

11. 聖經架構的要素 (3) Essentials of the Framework (3) 7. 神創始承終：安息等同公義 ( 神要對自己公義 ) ，因此生態和整個創造都在主裏要有公義 7. God-consummating: Sabbath is God demanding justice for himself, hence eco- and creational justice makes sense. 
