In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Then God created mankind in his own image, male and female he created them.
God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number.
Fill the earth, and Rule over the fish in the sea, and the birds in the sky, and over every living creature: the beasts of the earth and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it.
The Lord God took the man and put him in a garden and commanded him to take care of it.
“The earth itself is the Lord’s, and everything in it.
We are stewards, responsible for managing it responsibly.
Christians should be the most concerned for the environment, seeing the world as a gift from God.
We must do our best to take care of it and use it wisely.
