God created the Earth and everything in it, including humanity, and gave humanity stewardship over His creation. As stewards, humans are responsible for caring for the environment, health, possessions, and gifts from God. The Sabbath was given to help people reflect on God as Creator. Humans are to care for animals and the Earth in a way that respects life but allows for reasonable use. Our bodies and talents are not our own but are on loan from God, so we must take care of them and use them for His purposes. True stewardship involves wisely and sustainably administering what God has provided for His glory.
