Issue Nº5 Digital

In Genesis 1, God instructed humans to ‘rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and overall the creatures that move along the ground’, and to ‘fill the earth and subdue it (Genesis 1:26, 28). Some people believe that the instruction to ‘rule’ over the earth means we have absolute authority over creation. In this view, nature is a resource for humans to benefit from economically, whatever the environmental impacts.

When we forget our responsibility to be wise stewards, creation groans. The earth can no longer cope with the demands humans place on our natural resources. Our waste and pollution are poisoning the air, soil, and water. If we continue to exploit and abuse God’s earth, what will be left for future generations to inherit? The climate crisis is here, and it demands urgent action from all of us.
