Worldview Perspective
Environmental wellness is the practice of creating and maintaining healthy, safe, and enjoyable surroundings, both in natural settings and in places such as the home and workplace, that support overall well-being. It involves understanding how the environment affects health, reducing personal impact on the environment, and respecting nature in order to promote a clean and sustainable way of living.
Biblical Worldview Perspective
“Environmental Stewardship”
“Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to tend and keep it.” Genesis 2:15
“The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it, the world, and those who live in it”. Psalm 24:1
‘For in him all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers—all things have been created through him and for him. He himself is before all things, and in him all things hold together.’ Colossians 1:16-17
The Bible presents environmental wellness as a mandate for stewardship, where we are tasked by God to “work and take care of” the Earth rather than exploit it. It emphasizes that the Earth belongs to God, making environmental care an act of worship, justice, and responsible management of His creation.
