God loves His creation because He has created it. The week of creation when God stepped back to look at what He had done, He said “It is Good”. As mankind, we are part of this “good creation” and are given the responsibility by God to “dress and keep it”. We are to keep it presentable and livable for the rest of our “brothers” or fellowman. This is a direct responsibility given to us by our Creator.
Contrary to what many conservationists are holding as gospel, the driving factor in our maintenance of the creation must be our love for God. Today many people are holding the earth to the status of a god which is nothing but idolatry, and are trying to maintain the earth as a means of sacrifice to this god. The term “mother earth” denotes a rejection of the Creator God’s manifested presence in our created habitation. The denial of God’s existence as the Creator of the universe as well as everything in it, including us, indicates that man no longer wants to be accountable to Him.
