“For ‘the earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness’” (1 Corinthians 10:26, NKJV).
We’re stewards of everything God created for us. As believers who’ve been given the same authority as Jesus Christ, we have the responsibility to respect our environment and the life in it.
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works” (2 Timothy 3:16, 17).
Trusting in and relying on the Scriptures to teach us brings us to a point of perfection. This perfection doesn’t come from anything we do, but from God.
“I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase” (1 Corinthians 3:6, 7).
Apart from God, nothing we do by our own efforts will prosper. Spreading the gospel involves planting and watering the seed of His Word by faith, but He’s the one who brings it to fruition.
“Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people” (Proverbs 14:34).
Righteousness comes from believing strongly enough in what God says to obey it. When nations exalt and honor God through their obedience, He’ll exalt them in return, but sin brings its own punishment.
“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance” (Psalm 33:12).
Countries governed according to God’s Word are prosperous and blessed, but they open themselves up to evil when they turn away and ignore the truth found in the Bible. In these last days we’re seeing clear examples of this.
