Question

Read about God as creator in Genesis 1:20-25; Psalm 104; Amos 4:13; Amos 5:8; and Psalm 19:1-6. Write a paragraph describing the rights God has and the responsibilities that God takes toward the physical world He created (see also Psalm 145:15-16, Matthew 6:25-34). Christianity teaches that food, clothing, and shelter are gifts from God. Even though people work to generate income for them, a person’s health and job are instrumental ways for God to care for humans (for more information, see the Veith article, “God at Work”). By God’s design, the Bible teaches that humans are to live simply, not be wasteful, to use renewable resources, to recycle non-renewable resources, not to litter, to care for the earth and all creatures, to be thankful for God’s providence, and to care for other humans. Ordinarily, God uses natural means to care for His creation (nature and people) – so that a farmer in Minnesota may raise corn that will feed cattle in Idaho, become ethanol in Iowa, and be used for food in Indiana and India. Those means include humans taking care of the world and others. However, sometimes (rarely), God can intervene directly. Use the concordance or other resources in the NIV Study Bible to explore stories of God’s providence and natural or supernatural power over creation (think about the Flood, Joseph in Egypt, the Plagues, the Red Sea, manna and quail, and other miracles where God shows power over the creation; e.g., consider passages like Mark 4:35-41). Describe God’s power involved in the forces and laws of nature, as well as how certain fixed laws can be suspended in supernatural displays of God’s power like in the miracles.

Answer 1

After reading through Genesis 1:20-25; Psalm 104; Amos 4:13; Amos 5:8; and Psalm 19:1-6 one can understand that God has created the word, he created day and night, evening and morning and fifth days, mountain and ocean, the living creature on the earth and under the water, God created animals, birds. God blessed all the creature to be fruitful multiply and fill the earth and the ocean, He created heaven God was amused by his creation, these all were created by God for the benefit of human being, so that they can have their livestock, God is true and fulfill his promises as it is said in Psalm 145:15-16, that God gives the food in time, because he has promised to look after the creation, in return he wants praise and obedience.

Human being have to be grateful to God because he has provided human being everything from herb, fruits food, and clothing to, shelter and good standard of living, Matthew 6:25-34) is all about God taking care of human health food and clothing, it explains that the way God provides food to the birds and other creature he would provide food and clothing mankind, if we look at these phrases the food is in fact spiritual uplifting and cloth is our good deed that would cover our bad deeds.

God is invisible, yet, he is present everywhere, his presence can be felt through good deeds, he is in this world through human beings, he has chosen to bring new life in this world through the vocation of husbands and wives, fathers and mothers God tells us to stay in a family, he expresses his love through parents to children and from children to parents through caring and respecting, thus God is at work in all the field, the key factor in a Christian life is belief in God  that put a spiritual dimension to work, family, and involvement in society, but these are infected by sins, lack of purpose, confused as to what they should do, and how one should behave and live in the society, at this point the men become selfish, towards himself and his family, they do not care about others.

God has gifted everyone these are uniqueness, talents, and personality. The Christian belief in Jesus is that he is the son of God, he has shown number of miracles to make people believe that he is from God and God exist,  when Jesus was not recognized by people, he was recognized by God, his faith in God was very strong, for each and every support he used to look at God, and that had surprised everyone when the boat in which Jesus was traveling met with storm, he commanded the wind to be quiet and it calmed down, this miracle surprised everyone.

Jesus was betrayed by one of his disciples, but Jesus did not run away he sacrificed his life for the sake of mankind. The people of Israel were punished by plague for their misdeed and were removed from Israel.

That shows that Christianity teaches sacrifice in every matter life, a farmer who grows corn in one part of the world have to share the corn with other people of the world, because God loves his creation and he worked through a human being, he sends his messages through his selected people, who shows the path God wants us to follow.

Gods power can be seen everywhere from the smallest atom to the big universe, he has created a world in such a way that humanity has to search his gift of creation, through the blowing of wind from earth to sea and from sea to earth, the sun rises and sunset, the volcano, earthquake, are Gods supernatural power if he wants to punish someone we can see a number of natural calamities that is beyond human imagination, the treasure under the sea the minerals, the oil all these are God's gift for mankind to use it for good purpose, but as it is said earlier, man forgets his vocation and use these Gifts for destruction and killing mankind.

No one can survive the supernatural power of God, it can be destructive if he wants to punish or it can be constructive if he showers his mercy on the human being, if he pleases, because God is all-merciful and forgiving.
