While we certainly have a degree of responsibility from God to be good stewards of His created world, we shouldn’t revere the Earth as its own deity. It’s a material space rock under the curse of God. He will one day destroy it in judgment in preparation for a New Heaven and a New Earth. Saving the planet is not on God’s agenda; saving people is. Time will tell how this kind of language may be used to shape a one-world, “green” economic system in our future.
