If people who are worried about climate change and its affects read The Bible and actually believed it, their worries would quickly disappear. How can we be so certain???
A 2019 poll in the UK discovered that 40% of the public describe themselves as very worried or extremely worried about climate change. A similar poll three years earlier put the figure at 19%, so that worry has doubled in three years…
As with all issues having to do with science, the foundational passages to which we must turn are found in Genesis:
“And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth…”
{Genesis 1:28 KJV}
When ~GOD~ blessed the first human beings, He gave them dominion over all living creatures and gave them authority to “replenish the earth, and subdue it.” The verse implies first that humans have authority to exploit the earth’s resources, and second, to do so in a manner of good stewards. Add to this basis the fact that ~GOD~ was prepared to cause massive climate change, as a punishment for human sin, by sending the Global–Flood that is recorded in Genesis chapters 6 through 9. ~GOD~ would be justified in sending another Flood today—except that He has promised not to do so:
“And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth…”
{Genesis 9:11 KJV}
Moreover, He promised that our current pattern of seasons would continue, until the end of the world:
“While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease…”
{Genesis 8:22 KJV}
These verses should be a reassurance to Christians. And, if worry remains, remember what ~JESUS~ said:
“Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment???”
{Matthew 6:25 KJV}
Prayer: Thank You, Father, for Your continued provision, blessing, and mercy to a human race which largely hates You. We look forward to a future with You, where there will be no more worry, suffering, sorrow, and pain. Amen…
