LET’S DISCUSS

Question 1: How should we understand the Creation

Story?

Is it scientific? Is it historical? What religious truths can we learn from the Creation Story?

Truths from the Creation Story

- God created us. - God is the source of everything that exists. - We all need God’s grace to live our lives fully. - All of God’s creation is good.

Question 2: Why did God create the world?

God created all things not to increase His glory but to share His goodness and love to His Creation.

Question 3: Do we have responsibility to God’s

creation?

God made us stewards of His creation. To be a steward of creation means we look after or take good care of everything that God created.

In Genesis 1:28, God said… “Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it.” The word “subdue” here does not mean to overcome or to take control of the earth.
