Hi, need to submit a 1250 words paper on the topic What Specific Actions Should Christians Take Regarding the Environment. God loves His creation whether they are humans, animals, plants, water, land or anything else present in the world. Being human beings, we are handed over the earth and we have to take care of the earth. Christians as followers of Christianity are religiously obligated to take care of the earth and its belongings. Deem (2009) informs that earth is temporarily handed over to humans and they have to return it to God as it belongs to God. God designed the earth for his creatures’ healthy survival. Man is not allowed to destroy the earth. God has provided us with everything that we need for our lives. In addition, God has created human beings as the masters of other creatures and because of human dominance, human beings have a moral duty to take control and take care of other creatures. Deem (2009) writes, “Because clean air, pure water, and adequate resources are crucial to public health and civic order, the government has an obligation to protect its citizens from the effects of environmental degradation”. Therefore, as good Christians, it is our duty to take care of everything God has created, so that we, as well as other generations, can use God’s resources. Bible says that those human beings who are responsible for destroying the earth will have to withstand God’s judgment against their acts (Deem, 2009). Therefore, Christians as followers of the Bible have to take care of the environment and earth altogether to ensure God’s kindness towards them.

The earth is having many forms of degradations such as degradation of land because of usage of pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers, the dilapidation of species, conversion of land from wilderness to urban areas, creation of discarding grounds because of perilous chemicals, increasing pollution, increasing gases in the atmosphere and cultural loses (Bohlin, 1992).
