Abstract

This research aims to produce a dogmatic theological basis regarding the integrity of creation according to Martin Luther, such as the existence of humans as imago Dei (Image of God) who receive a mandate from God, namely to dominate and conquer. The crucifixion of Jesus Christ is the center of the salvation of the world and all creation in it. All of God’s plans for this world are never separated from Jesus Christ. From the beginning of creation, until the plan for the restoration of creation is centered on Christ. This research focuses on qualitative research methods or literature exploration as a source of dogmatic theology about the integrity of creation, confessions of faith and historical documents. These literary sources can be in the form of theological books, theological seminars, journals and other literary materials that discuss the theme of creation and the integrity of creation from a dogmatic theological perspective. Based on the analysis of the data obtained, universal salvation is available to people outside the church. John the Evangelist, speaks of the salvation available to the church (those faithful to Jesus Christ). John’s message of salvation was not only conveyed to the followers of Jesus Christ but was addressed to all of God’s creatures, both the universe and the humans who live in it, namely the tribes of Israel, but also people from all nations, tribes, peoples and languages that cannot be counted.
