we have a duty to care for the creation which is a home for us to experience the beauty of earth life.
“As beneficiaries of the divine Creation, what shall we do?” asks President Russell M. Nelson, the president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “We should care for the earth, be wise stewards over it, and preserve it for future generations. And we are to love and care for one another.
One of the reason the earth will be destroyed is because of its abuse and misuse, the earth is a personify, hence it speaks and speaks only to its creator.
The earth is vulnerable, and we are accountable to God for how we treat and use it. Excessive consumption sullies God’s seas; wanton waste blackens His air. The creation groans under the weight of recklessness and indulgence that neglects both the poor earth and the earth’s poor. God expects us to care for His glorious creations, including all His children.
Latter-day Saint teachings are unequivocal—we all have a responsibility to care for God’s majestic creation and to use its resources “with judgment, not to excess, neither by extortion” (D&C 59:20).
The truth is that we are not treating the earth the way we need to. If we continue to neglect to care for the earth the Lord will hear it's groaning and come down to redeem the Earth of its deteriorating state this will result to the end of this Earth and it will become a new heaven and a new Earth. And this will mean the destruction of man or the wicked because the righteous will be saved.
His creation, however, is more than a pristine picture; it’s an abundant world full of life-sustaining soil, seasons, and resources that provide for diverse plant and animal life. Recalling his own bucolic upbringing, a former president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Spencer W. Kimball, declared: “This is a marvelous earth on which we find ourselves.”[i] In God’s grand plan, the earth serves as a sacred space for mortal life; it’s a matchless gift from a loving Heavenly Father. And yet, too often human action toward the earth mirrors that of a profligate rather than a thankful beneficiary.
I fear the Earth is been damaged on a daily basis and we need to care and honor the creation.
