Questions to consider:
- Taking care of the environment can be a good thing to do, but why and to what extent? What should motivate us to have right “dominion” over the earth (Genesis 1:28-31)? What fear is the only fear that should motivate us to use and/or take care of the earth rightly?
- How do verses 31-35 tie together the logical progression from seeing God’s glory in creation to the end of pursuing the glory of God with our whole lives? Why is it right to live for Christ?
- How does the first request from verse 35 not include Christians? Why are we not consumed? (Romans 4:4-5)
