In The Image Of God He Created Them

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

Genesis 1:26-28

How do we each deal with the issue of stewardship for our Lord? How do we take care of the earth, and the people on it?

Consider the Christian’s role in caring for the planet – especially how that relates to reaching the most needy in the world.

The earth belongs to God. The heavens, the earth, and all that are in it are His. Second, God delegated the responsibility for the well-being of His earth to us.

This is our Father’s world. Let’s show Him how much we love Him by respecting it and caring for the people who populate it.

To mistreat God’s creation is to offend the Creator.
