Genesis 1:26-31

Made To be like God

In this passage, following the creation of the universe, we come to God’s masterpiece, or as

St Paul says in his letter to the Ephesians, ‘God’s work of art’. The writer of Genesis clearly

states that the human being – each man and woman - is made in the image and likeness of

the Creator. This is not said of any other creature. The writer of Genesis tells us that ‘God

blessed them...’, and that when he had finished his work, culminating in the creation of the

human being, ‘God saw all that he had made, and indeed it was very good.’ . The human

being – female and male – is the high point of creation, because of being made in God’s

image. However, with privilege and honour come responsibility, and the wonderful world

which God has made needs to be looked after and protected. This is stewardship; this is the

job which God gives to humankind.

In this first chapter of the first book of the Bible, God says that human beings, made in the

image of God and therefore worthy of respect and dignity, are to take responsibility for all

creatures; God makes it clear that there is enough food for all creatures, ensuring that the

harmony which God wants for all creation can be maintained. This responsibility means that

humanity, privileged to be made in the image of God and blessed by the gifts of the Creator,

shares in responsibility for creation, the work of God. We are stewards, not owners of the

world and its gifts; we need to remind ourselves that the gifts of creation are not just for us

now but also for future generations to benefit from and enjoy – as God intended. For us as

Christians, the challenge lies in what we do in our everyday lives to witness to this belief.

After God created the Earth, he created humans. People are made in the image and likeness of God and that means that each person has dignity and is to be treated with respect.

Creation is not ours to own but it is on loan to us for the time we live on the earth. The passage above tells us of our responsibility to take care of the earth and everything in it; that is to be good stewards.

We must protect and sustain it for future generations.

Questions to think about and/or discuss with your grown-ups.

Why did God make human beings? What job have humans been given? How well do you think humans do that job? What are your reasons for your answer? How does scripture inspire people to be stewards of creation? How does Christian belief in stewardship of creation, shape how we take responsibility for caring for the

earth, preventing damage to God’s creation

R.E. – PAGE 2

The challenge we face is to halt this destruction and heal, wherever possible, the damage already done to the planet.

R.E. – PAGE 3

Sometimes our actions encourage other people to act too. They see what can be done and join in. This is called leading by example or by witness.

Fortunately, there are many people who are concerned about the harmony and integrity of Creation and want to live a more ecological or green lifestyle. St. Francis is the patron saint of Ecology. Ecology, which comes from the Greek word meaning house or home, is about being at home on earth and ensuring the good relationship between created things. The desire for a more ecological or green lifestyle brings together people, of different religions, races and cultures.

Task 1

Read each statement below and decide whether you agree or disagree with it, make sure you give a reason to back up your opinion.

1.The survival of the world depends upon our sharing what we have and working together.

2.Damage to the environment affects every part of creation.

3.We should not only think about ourselves but protect

4.God’s creation for future generations. I cannot change the world.

5.Creation belongs to us; we can do what we like.

6.We can make a difference.

7.Most humans don’t care for the earth.

R.E. – PAGE 4

Task 2

Complete the grid by writing answering each question, make sure you back up your answers with your reason, thoughts, feelings, opinions and links to scripture where you can.

Why do you think it is important to show respect for and be stewards of God’s

creation?

Do you think that people respect the environment?

How have people damaged God’s creation? In what ways could you encourage people to show greater respect for and stewardship of

the environment and God’s creation?

What actions would you like your school to take, to care for the environment and

creation?

How have you shown and/or not shown respect for and stewardship for the environment and God’s creation?
