The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.
GENESIS 2:15
We all live somewhere with neighbors and it matters to Him how we relate to the people He has put around us.
God values what He creates and has given a creation mandate to humanity: “work and keep the land.”
As Christians, we know that Jesus redeemed us, not to escape this mandate, but to fulfill it right where God put us.
