MCLEAN, Va., March 29, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ -- Why is it that so many Christians struggle to find meaning in who they are and why they were created? It all links back to how we view God's plan. For years, Christians have seen the gospel as two fold – we are sinners (Fall) and sinners need a savior (Redemption) – but what if there was more to God's story?

In a new Institute for Faith, Work & Economics (IFWE) booklet called All Things New: Rediscovering The Four-Chapter Gospel, IFWE executive director Hugh Whelchel argues that God's story is not just about the Fall and Redemption, but that Creation and Restoration are vital to understand if we want to find the fulfillment and meaning we seek in our own lives.

"It [the four-chapter gospel] gives us the context of our creation, assurance in our destination, and a picture of God's design – flourishing," says Whelchel in All Things New. In an interview on the IFWE blog, Whelchel shares his own personal struggle in overcoming a secular/spiritual divide in his work and how the four-chapter gospel has impacted all aspects of his life.

All Things New goes deeper into each aspect of Creation, Fall, Redemption, Restoration breaking them down by chapter with reflection questions to help readers better know how to apply these concepts to their daily lives.

Hugh Whelchel is the executive director of IFWE and author of How Then Should We Work: Rediscovering the Biblical Doctrine of Work (Westbow Press, 2012). He has more than twenty-five years of experience in the business arena and a master’s degree in religion from the Reformed Theological Seminary.
